Review:
Barry Andrews is pre-eminent in making our Transcendentalist forebears present to us. Here he introduces the wide-ranging genius of Margaret Fuller, and offers a rich selection of pertinent words from her public and private writings. --Gordon Gibson, president, Unitarian Universalist Historical Society
In eight concise themes, Editor Barry Andrews provides the reader with a cohesive sampling of the best writing Margaret Fuller gave to the world. Our spirits will be enriched as we read and our own humble writing will be given deeper meaning. Her search for meaning and purpose gives light to what we are searching for in our lives. --Elizabeth M. Strong, consulting minister, First Parish Church, Ashby, MA
What a great resource! The combination of biographical sketch, commentary on her spiritual and intellectual development, and her own words makes this slim volume an excellent starting place for those who wish to understand why Margaret Fuller matters even today. The timing its publication to coincide with her Bicentennial will encourage engagement with her ideas and empower readers to continue her legacy of inspiring people to think independently, learn through dialogue, believe in the equality of all people, and be open to change. --Rev. Dr. Dorothy May Emerson, Co-chair, Margaret Fuller Bicentennial Committee
