Margaret Fuller and Her Circles

The Massachusetts Historical Society is sponsoring a conference entitled “Margaret Fuller and her Circles” on April 8–10, 2010, in Boston. Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) has become central to a new account of antebellum literature, history, and culture. Her significance as a writer and public intellectual in the 1830s and 1840s in New England, New York, and Europe has become visible even as a new understanding of this formative period in American culture has emerged among scholars. The Massachusetts Historical Society and the Margaret Fuller Society are pleased to recognize the 200th anniversary of Fuller’s birth with a conference on her life and work. Aside from the keynote speaker, presenters will not deliver their papers aloud but will take part in the discussion of their work. The papers under discussion at this conference will be available at the society’s Web site to registered attendees approximately one month before the program. The registration fee is $75 ($50 for students). To register online or for more information, please visit www.masshist.org/events/conferences.cfm.
