Charles Capper is Professor of History at Boston University. In addition to writing the acclaimed first volume of Margaret Fuller: An American Romantic Life, he is coeditor of The American Intellectual Tradition and the journal Modern Intellectual History.
"Superb."--Christopher Benfey, New York Review of Books
"With this second volume, Capper has established his preeminent
position as the authority on Fuller....This is a triumph of great
intellectual achievement, displaying an amazing depth of knowledge
and admirable research."--Sally G. McMillen, Reviews in American
History
"Capper's book makes us see that Fuller was finally not a romantic
heroine but a historical creature, endowed with extraordinary
capacities for making a place for herself....Charles Capper finally
brings Margaret Fuller back home, reclaiming her and her immense
intelligence for America."--Christine Stansell, The New
Republic
"This long-awaited second volume of Capper's Bancroft Prize-winning
biography of Fuller fulfills all expectations....Capper has crafted
both an intimate life and a subtle analysis of Fuller's
work."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Capper's magnificent biography restores Fuller as a transnational
citizen of the liberal Atlantic world and as the first great
American champion of cosmopolitan avant-garde culture."--Mary
Loeffelholz, Boston Globe
"Our understanding of one of the most original and consequential
'men of letters' in 19th-century America--this country's first
modern feminist--is as complete as the art of biography
allows."--The Atlantic
"Charles Capper does not simply know about Margaret Fuller; he
knows Fuller herself--her mind and heart, her hopes and fears. This
biography is a monument to both its brilliant subject and her
sensitive, perceptive biographer."--Daniel Walker Howe, author of
What Hath God Wrought
"A triumph. A revolutionary, a feminist, an intellectual, a wife
and a mother, Margaret Fuller lived a rich full life. This is a
rich full account of it, easily the best life of Fuller ever
written."--Robert D. Richardson, author of Emerson: The Mind on
Fire
"A tour de force."--Mary Kelley, University of Michigan
"Will undoubtedly stand for generations to come as the
authoritative biography of one of this nation's most important,
influential women intellectuals."--Lawrence Buell, Harvard
University
"This portrait of Fuller as a feminist and cosmopolitan cultural
figure has been highly praised by historians."--New York Times Book
