Margaret Fuller, Critic provides a representative selection from the rich vein of her writings for the New-York Tribune, where she was the paper's first literary editor. From reviews of the writings of Edgar Allen Poe to reflections on such contemporary French novelists as Balzac and George Sand, from investigations into the relationship between race and voting to arguments for on an asylum for discharged female convicts, the scope of Fuller's critical vision is here made manifest.
Judith Mattson Bean is associate professor of English at Texas Woman's University in Denton and has published numerous articles on Fuller. Joel Myerson, Carolina Distinguished Professor of American Literature at the University of South Carolina, has published the standard primary and secondary bibliographies of Fuller. A past president of the Association for Documentary Editing, the Thoreau Society, and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society, he is currently president of the Margaret Fuller Society.
