Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "She was the most famous woman in America. And nobody knew who she was. [] It is 1850. Margaret Fuller--feminist, journalist, orator, and 'the most famous woman in America'--is returning from Europe where she covered the Italian revolution for The New York Tribune. She is bringing home with her an Italian husband, the Count Ossoli, and their two-year-old son. But this is not the gala return of a beloved American heroine. This is a furtive, impoverished return under a cloud of suspicion and controversy. When the ship founders in a hurricane off Long Island and Fuller and her small family drown, her friends back home, Emerson and others of the Transcendentalist Concord circle, send Henry David Thoreau to the wreck in hopes of recovering her last book manuscript. He comes back declaring himself empty-handed--but actually he has found a private and revealing document, a confession in letters, of a strong and beloved woman's life like no other in the 19th century. Her account of the life of the mind and body, of experiences in Rome under siege, of dangerous childbirth and great physical and moral courage--are eventually revealed to her one reader, Thoreau's youngest sister, Anne. [] What does one sensitive but ordinary woman makes of a publicly disgraced woman like Fuller, and how do women make use of what they learn from other women? MISS FULLER is a historical novel that also poses timeless questions about how we see and treat the exceptional and dangerous agents of change among us. And it shows the price that any one person might pay, who strives to change the world for the better." [publisher copy] "MISS FULLER is heartrending and utterly convincing, an aria and elegy for one of the great tragic souls of American literature. And what a dream cast April Bernard has assembled from Fuller's cosmopolitan wanderings: Henry Thoreau and his sister; the Hawthornes; George Sand; Mazzini; the great Polish poet Miczkiewicz. Bernard herself is a poet of extraordinary reach and panache. 'Where is our promised wind?' Fuller asks. 'Impatience is our companion.'"--Christopher Benfey. "A beautifully written and constructed gem of a novel that totally absorbed me into its world."--Caryl Phillips. Pristine & handy paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Signed by Author(s).

INSCRIBED to a recipient with first name only as a token of admiration and regard and SIGNED by the author: Bill. WARNER, WILLIAM BEATTY. Licensing entertainment: the elevation of novel reading in Britain, 1684-1750. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xvi, 325pp., . What happens to the culture of early modern Britain when the relatively new communications technology of print, developed to promote the highest purposes of religion, law, and education, is instead appropriated as a medium for entertainment? William Warner shows how the earliest British novels, published in small portable format, underwrote the freedom and pleasure of readers, and in so doing provoked an early instance of the modern anxiety about the effects of new media on consumers. Novels have been a respectable component of culture for so long that it is difficult for twentieth-century observers to grasp the unease produced by early novel reading. Warner uncovers a buried and neglected history of the way the novel was shaped in response to a newly vigorous market in narratives. In order to rein in the sexy and egotistical novel of amorous intrigue, novelists and critics redefined the novel as morally respectable, masculine, British, realistic, and, finally, literary. Warner emphasizes the role of early novelists as entertainers and media workers, and shows how the short, erotic, plot-driven fiction written by Behn, Manley, and Haywood came to be absorbed and overwritten by the novels of Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding. His account replaces the history of the rise of the novel with a more inclusive cultural history. 9780520212961 ISBN 0520212967.
