Margaret Fuller, Wandering Pilgrim

Informationen zum Autor MEG McGAVRAN MURRAY, until her retirement, taught English at Mississippi State University and, before that, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. She is the editor of the essay collection Face to Face . Klappentext Discusses Margaret Fuller's Puritan ancestry, her life as the precocious child of a preoccupied, grieving mother and of a tyrannical father who took over her upbringing, her escape from her loveless home into books, and the unorthodox male and female role models to which her reading exposed her. It also covers Fuller's authorship of Woman in the Nineteenth Century, her career as a New-York Tribune journalist, her pregnancy, her witness of the fall of Rome in 1849 during the Roman Revolution. Zusammenfassung Filled with new insights into the causes and consequences of Fuller’s lifelong psychic conflict, this biography chronicles the journey of an American Romantic pilgrim and first full-fledged woman intellectual as she wanders from New England into the larger world.
