Alex, Grace, and Matt are back to discuss the extraordinary (for structural reasons!) life of Margaret Fuller, a feminist and later socialist who is often mentioned in relation to the Transcendentalists. We talk about her time as a professional conversationalist in Boston, her self-sacrificing editorship of 'The Dial,' the Transcendentalist magazine. The tuopian community Brook Farm. Fuller the columnist/foreign correspondent at Horace Greeley's New York Tribune. Her Orwell-like radicalisation in Europe during the revolutionary 1840s.
