Thank you for this great author chat- Allison is dynamic and delightful and so is her book. Laura Beth, as a moderator- you are outstanding!! Very thoughtful questions and insights. Thank you for hosting LB the Lover of Books. I am so happy I found this book group!
@@BettyCarter-i8q thank you so much for this feedback. It means the world to me. I’m so happy you found us too! Hope to see you live on a chat or they will be here for you to watch afterwards. LMK if you find some of the backlog you’ve already read!
This book was terrific - really brought history alive. But the author chat shows that the author herself is a DELIGHT. It's wonderful that someone so personable can also be a great writer - sometimes you get one or the other. I'd love to see her at at a book festival!
According to my independent research, several of the statements in the introductory summary are incorrect. Specifically, I have found evidence that Margaret Fuller did not write the reviews in "The Dial" signed "F." These were, as I believe, written by Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. He was signing, as he had done before, with his middle initial. Similarly, the reviews, essays and reports signed with a single asterisk or "star," in the 1844-46 New York "Tribune," were also, as I believe, written by Mathew Franklin Whittier. He had used that pseudonym extensively since 1829, continuing to write with it long after Fuller's death in 1850, until at least 1873--all of this material being identical in style and philosophy. If my theory is correct--and I have some very strong evidence to support it--then Fuller plagiarized two of Mathew's pieces from "The Dial," and nine of his pieces from the "Tribune," in her 1846 book, "Papers on Literature and Art." I can prove absolutely that Fuller could not have written two of the "star"-signed pieces in the "Tribune," because in one instance the writer gives his or her birthday as being in the middle of "snow-laden winter" (Fuller was born May 23); and in the second instance, the writer mentions having attended a concert in Boston at a time when Fuller was not in Boston.
