Margaret Fuller Livres

A woman of many gifts, Margaret Fuller (1810–50) is most aptly remembered as America's first true feminist. Her 1845 work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, is regarded as the United States' first feminist publication, a groundbreaking book that helped reshape gender roles for women as well as men. Fuller was one of the few female members of the Transcendentalist movement, and in her brief yet fruitful life, she was an author, editor, literary and social critic, journalist, poet, and revolutionary. This collection reflects the broad scope of Fuller's interests. Ranging from her early poetry to her reviews and essays, selections include the travelogue Summer on the Lakes, her contributions to the literary journal The Dial, and her unpublished journals.

The Dial was one of the most important magazines of the 19th century, featuring contributions from some of the most significant literary and philosophical voices of the time. Edited by the legendary trio of George Ripley, Margaret Fuller, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Dial was a forum for the exchange of radical ideas and literature that challenged the status quo. This collection of essays and articles provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual ferment of the era and the groundbreaking work of some of its most visionary thinkers.

This legendary publication brought together some of the most influential writers and thinkers of the mid-19th century. From the essays of Emerson to the poems of Fuller, the content of The Dial remains a vital part of American literary history and an essential read for anyone interested in the intellectual and cultural milieu of the time.

When first published in 1845, Woman in the Nineteenth Century was one of the most popular and influential works of feminism in its time, selling out in its first edition within a week. However, this major work by Margaret Fuller has not been widely available to modern readers before now. This edition presents the complete text of Fuller's famous work, as well as a collection of other important writings that provide an expansive vision of Fuller's thought. Ranging widely from the Woman Question to the European revolutionary movements in which she played a direct part, her thought prefigures important themes in modern feminism.
