Pulitzer Award, Biography, 2014 From an early on age group, Margaret Fuller provoked and dazzled New England's intellectual elite. Her famous Interactions transformed women's sense of how they could think and live; her editorship of the Transcendentalist literary journal the Dial shaped American Romanticism. Now, Megan Marshall, whose acclaimed The Peabody Sisters "discovered" three amazing women, did it again: No biography of Fuller has made her ideas so alive or her life so moving. Marshall tells the storyplot of how Fuller, sick and tired of Boston, accepted Horace Greeley's offer to be the New-York Tribune's front-page columnist. The move unleashed a crusading concern for the urban poor and the plight of prostitutes, and a late-in-life appetite for passionate experience. In Italy as a international correspondent, Fuller took a secret fan, a young official in the Roman Shield; she wrote dispatches on the brutal 1849 Siege of Rome; and she offered birth to a kid. Yet, when all three passed away in a shipwreck off Hearth Island shortly after Fuller's 40th birthday, the sense and love of her life's work were eclipsed by tragedy and scandal. Marshall's inspired account brings an American heroine back again to indelible life.
