Fuller’s Transatlantic Life

Abstract

Detailed, highly laudatory critique of Capper’s two-volume biography of Fuller. Descries his central argument that Fuller was a major figure in several areas, notably Transcendentalism, the women’s movement, and journalism. Cites numerous examples of Capper’s use of Fuller’s correspondence and published writings to support his claims about her personality and interests. Notes appreciatively Capper’s use of the work of other scholars in constructing his biography.
