About This Item
Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1905/ First edition. In the preface, Dall writes that the present work was the only published record of Fuller's "conversations" at the time.. Publisher's olive-green cloth stamped in gilt. . Octavo. Smudge to back cover and light rubbing to extremities. Minor foxing to edges and endpapers. A very good, clean, and tight copy. Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1850) was a Transcendentalist writer and the author of Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845), which is considered the first major feminist work written in America. In 1840, she took the helm of The Dial, the new Transcendentalist quarterly; a month later, she began hosting her "conversations," during which Boston intellectuals, mostly women, joined to discuss literature, art, philosophy, abolitionism, and women's rights. The conversations took place at the home of Elizabeth Palmer Peabody and were attended by women like Maria White Lowell, Caroline Sturgis, Lydia Maria Child, Julia Ward Howe, Sophia Dana Ripley, and many others. Mary Channing, cousin of William Henry Channing, and Sarah Clarke, wife of James Freeman Clarke, also attended. See American National Biography.
