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 Günderode\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","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46894089928855,"sku":"9780801417078","price":12490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801417078.webp?v=1770321427","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-letters-of-margaret-fuller-1842-1844-9780801417078","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
