It closes with her in New York, having accepted Horace Greeley's invitation to work as a book reviewer for \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e. Her position was nearly without precedent for a woman, and she wrote enthusiastically of her job that it provided \"a more various view of life than any I ever before was in.\" She found herself in a larger world: the new tasks of daily journalism replaced the demands of \u003ci\u003eThe Dial\u003c\/i\u003e, and a mass audience replaced her coterie of intellectual readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese were prolific years for Fuller, during which she wrote on a wide variety of subjects, and the letters chronicle her progress on a number of projects, among them her travel book, \u003ci\u003eSummer on the Lakes\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1843, which grew out of a trip to the Midwest; her translation of Bettina von Arnim's \u003ci\u003eDie G?derode\u003c\/i\u003e; and her essays on contemporary poetry, fiction, and drama. She devoted the fall of 1844 to expanding \"The Great Lawsuit,\" an essay she had written for \u003ci\u003eThe Dial\u003c\/i\u003e; the letters document how the piece grew to become her most important book--\u003ci\u003eWoman in the Nineteenth Century\u003c\/i\u003e, a provocative study of woman's role in American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Fuller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801417074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801417078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Margaret Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120221810943,"sku":"9780801417078","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcbdc81e-bc01-465f-b949-060dc7613c39.jpg?v=1687413172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-letters-of-margaret-fuller-margaret-fuller-9780801417078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
