Book Review

Margaret Fuller: An American Romantic Life; The Public Years. By Charles Capper. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. xxii, 649 pp. $40.00, ISBN 978-0-19-506313-4.)

The second and concluding volume of Charles Capper's comprehensive biography of Margaret Fuller maintains the high standards of authoritative research, perceptive interpretation, and stylistic poise of the first volume. Capper traces Fuller's "public" emergence as the editor of the transcendentalist periodical the Dial, the author of Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845), a socially engaged columnist for Horace Greeley's New-York Tribune, and a chronicler and participant in the first phases of the Italian Risorgimento in 1848. His work will provide solid biographical groundwork to sustain an extensive historical recovery of Fuller as a pivotal American and as a cosmopolitan cultural figure, which has been underway for some three decades by scholars of transcendentalism, feminist critics, and cultural historians of the antebellum period.
