内容説明

One of the most influential American women writers of the 19th century, Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) played a vital role in New England Transcendentalism and the birth of the women's movement. Her Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845) was the first thorough study of feminism by an American and provided a comprehensive examination of the expanding roles of women in society. She was also an editor of The Dial, the literary and philosophical journal of the Transcendentalists. As a staff member of the New York Tribune, she developed an extensive reputation as a critic. Interest in her contribution to American thought has grown enormously in recent years. This bibliography cites and annotates several hundred critical studies of Fuller published between 1983 and 1995. It also adds information to earlier bibliographies of Fuller and includes entries for nearly 100 works published between 1840 and 1982 not included elsewhere. Entries are grouped in chapters for each year, and the volume includes an extensive index.One of the most influential American women writers of the 19th century, Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) played a vital role in the shaping of New England Transcendentalism and the birth of the women's movement.
