Join Megan Marshall for a discussion of the first Library of America volume devoted to Margaret Fuller, which Marshall co-edited, and the much-beloved "The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism," her first biography. How has Marshall’s understanding of these fascinating women, all with Concord connections, developed over years of study? What are some of her most memorable discoveries? Bring your own questions too!
Megan Marshall is the co-editor of "Margaret Fuller: Collected Writings," "The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism," and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Margaret Fuller: A New American Life." She is the Charles Wesley Emerson Professor Emerita at Emerson College.
