In 'The Complete Works of Margaret Fuller,' readers are invited into the rich tapestry of 19th-century transcendentalist thought, through a curated collection that showcases a broad spectrum of literary styles, from critical essays to personal letters and transcendentalist tracts. This anthology marks a significant endeavor to encapsulate the intellectual vitality of an era, providing a comprehensive outlook on themes of individualism, spirituality, and social reform. The collection stands out for its inclusion of Fuller's groundbreaking work, 'Woman in the Nineteenth Century,' alongside illuminating correspondences with her contemporaries, offering a multifaceted view of her philosophical and literary contributions. The contributing authors, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Freeman Clarke, Julia Ward Howe, and W. H.

This anthology presents an unparalleled opportunity for scholars, students, and general readers alike to explore the depths of transcendentalist literature through the lens of one of its most influential figures and her circle. The 'Complete Works of Margaret Fuller' is not only a testament to Fuller's enduring legacy but also an invitation to engage with the critical questions and literary achievements of an entire movement. Readers will find in this collection a rich dialogue between varied works, offering invaluable insights into the fabric of American thought and the ongoing relevance of transcendentalist ideals.

Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) was a pioneering American journalist, editor, critic, translator, and women's rights advocate. Born Sarah Margaret Fuller in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, she became a key figure in the transcendentalist movement and one of the most influential literary personalities of her time. Fuller's education was rich and extensive, a rarity for women in the early 19th century, and was largely influenced by her father, who provided her with a rigorous curriculum that helped shape her intellectual capabilities and feminist perspectives. As the first editor of the transcendentalist journal 'The Dial', Fuller became a crucial voice for social change, grounding her advocacy in both scholarship and activism. Her seminal work, 'Woman in the Nineteenth Century', is considered one of the earliest major feminist treatises, in which she argues for the independence and equality of women, building upon her calls for reform and self-assertion as documented in her reports in 'The New York Tribune'. Her literary style is marked by a blend of penetrating critique, passionate idealism, and a firm belief in the potential for personal and collective transcendence. The 'Complete Works of Margaret Fuller' embraces her wide-ranging contributions to literature including her extensive correspondence, writings on Italian politics, and her intimate reflections before her untimely death in a shipwreck. As an advocate, writer, and philosopher, Fuller's influence persists, formulating a critical foundation for subsequent generations of feminists and continuing to inspire those who encounter her powerful vision of social and personal transformation.
