"Fuller's lively group biography introduces readers to five remarkable young women..." -- New York Times"Filled with coruscating insights, Bright Circle reintroduces the women who helped create one of America's most exciting and progressive intellectual movements." -- Peggy Kurkowski, Foreword"They say that history is written by the victors, you know...the men. Usually books about the flowering of New England leave out the extraordinary Peabody sisters, the irresistible Margaret Fuller, the Alcott girls, Mary Moody Emerson and the two Mrs. Ralph Waldo Emersons to name a few. In intimate, dazzling language that brings these women to life, Randall Fuller's stories transcend the predictable parade of whales, cobbled Boston streets, scummy ponds, Salem witches and gabled houses creating a compelling story of how our literature was written." -- Susan Cheever, Author of Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography and American Bloomsbury (Simon & Schuster)"Beautifully written and thoroughly researched, Bright Circle introduces readers--many perhaps for the first time--to the brilliant and fierce women of the Transcendentalist movement. With intertwined biographies of Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody, Lydia Emerson, and Margaret Fuller, Randall Fuller provides a signal contribution to the study of the women of this important intellectual and artistic movement." -- Justine S. Murison, Professor of English, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign"Randall Fuller offers fresh portraits of five women whose lives intersected at the heart of the transcendentalist movement, and he defines that heart as Boston rather than Concord, a place of collaboration rather than solitude. Expanding on recent recovery work, he interprets the rich legacy from the rich legacy of these women's letters and diaries as well as the surviving record of Margaret Fuller's Conversations at Elizabeth Peabody's bookshop. The result is wonderfully readable, as well as an advance in our understanding of both transcendentalist thought and pre-feminist questioning." -- Phyllis Cole, Author of Mary Moody Emerson and the Origins of Transcendentalism (Oxford University Press), "They say that history is written by the victors, you know...the men.

Synopsis
Bright Circle tells a little-known story of five women who contributed to the literary and philosophical movement known as transcendentalism and, in the process, inaugurated what became the feminist movement. The book relies on little-known letters, journals, and writings of women who have largely remained unknown to the broader public., A group biography of five women who played path-breaking roles in the transcendentalist movement In November 1839, a group of young women in Boston formed a conversation society "to answer the great questions" of special importance to women: "What are we born to do? How shall we do it?" The lives and works of the five women who discussed these questions are at the center of Bright Circle , a group biography of remarkable thinkers and artists who played pathbreaking roles in the transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalism remains the most important literary and philosophical movement to have originated in the United States. Most accounts of it, however, trace its emergence to a group of young intellectuals (primarily Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau) dissatisfied with their religious, literary, and social culture. Yet there is a forgotten history of transcendentalism--a submerged counternarrative--that features a network of fiercely intelligent women who were central to the development of the movement even as they found themselves silenced by their culturally-assigned roles as women. Bright Circle is intended to reorient our understanding of transcendentalism: to help us see the movement as a far more collaborative and interactive project between women and men than is commonly understood. It recounts the lives of Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Lydia Jackson Emerson, and Margaret Fuller as they developed crucial ideas about the self, nature, and feeling even as they pushed their male counterparts to consider the rights of enslaved people of color and women. Many ideas once considered original to Emerson and Thoreau are shown to have originated with women who had little opportunity of publicly expressing them. Together, the five women of Bright Circle helped form the foundations of American feminism., A group biography of five women who played path-breaking roles in the transcendentalist movementIn November 1839, a group of young women in Boston formed a conversation society "to answer the great questions" of special importance to women: "What are we born to do?
