Book Reading with John Matteson '83

Join Princeton alumnus John Matteson '83 for a reading from his newest biography The Lives of Margaret Fuller on Tuesday February 6, 2012 at 6:30PM.

About the Book
This captivating new biography of the "Susan Sontag of nineteenth-century America" is endowed with Matteson's signature mix of historical precision and remarkable narrative craftsmanship, resulting in nuanced and eminently accessible biography of one of America's most fascinating women. Outspoken and quick-witted, Margaret Fuller was a brilliant writer and formidable social critic, whose intense passions shaped her constantly shifting self-image. Matteson captures Fuller’s longing for excellence and improvement, reflected by the changing lives she led.
