Title: Woman in the Nineteenth Century
Review: I read Fuller's book together with American Bloomsbury by Susan Cheever. I must say it was one of the least enjoyable reading experiences I have ever had, reminding me of some of the obsolete literary styles I had to plow through in graduate school. The prose was mannered, self-conscious and pretentious, much I fear in the manner valued by her Transcendentalist contemporaries. When I read American Bloomsbury I found that Cheever appropriately described Fuller's writing as "turgid, quotation/ridden prose". I do not recommend it unless you are writing a thesis on mid-nineteenth century American thought or on the history of feminism.
