Inhaltsangabe:

A compilation of sixty insightful reflections from Margaret Fuller, the brilliant woman of letters from Massachusetts who was a colleague and friend of Emerson, editor of Thoreau and mother of the women's movement in America. This is the fifth book in the popular series by Chris Highland that includes Muir, Thoreau, Emerson, Whitman and Burroughs. Though she lived to only forty years of age, Fuller left a vast number of letters, poems, articles and books to inspire and challenge the reader. The editor draws upon his research as well as years as an interfaith chaplain and student of Nature to lift up the brightest of Fuller's spiritual side. 'I wish my lot had been cast amid the sources of the streams, where the voice of the hidden torrent is heard by night, where the eagle soars . . . .' With selections placed alongside quotations from an incredible diversity of thinkers and sprinkled with crisp black and white photographs, this book adds an essential, wise and soaring voice to the series.
