Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 4: country life at Groton. (1833-1836.) (search)
was strong meat, surely, for a young girl to be feeding on such thoughts as these; such is not the diet on which mere sentimentalists and dreamers are reared. It is a striking fact in the development of her mind, that when we next find her writing something to please her father, she is still harping on Brutus. The first composition ever published by her, so far as I know, was in the Daily Advertiser, in 1834. She had wished during the previous autumn to print her translation of Goethe's Tasso, but had failed; and this newspaper communication was called forth by something written by George Bancroft. In a letter to Dr. Hedge (March 6, 1835), she thus describes the occurrence:-- Your ci-devant tutor, Mr. Bancroft, has been delivering a curious (as we say in Groton) address at Deerfield. If I thought you would care for it I would send you the account in Cousin George's paper. My father requested me to write a little piece in answer to Mr. B.'s attack on Brutus in the North A

he writes to another correspondent about the same time-- I cannot care much for preached elevation of sentiment unless I have seen it borne out by some proof, as in case of Mr. Emerson. It is so easy for a cultivated mind to excite itself with that tone! Fuller Mss. III. 281. More than a month later she writes to the Rev. F. H. Hedge, from Groton (November 30, 1834). With regard to Mr. Emerson, I had two reasons, if they may deserve to be so called, for wishing him to see my Tasso [translated from Goethe]. It gratified me that a mind which had affected mine so powerfully should be dwelling on something of mine, even though 't were only some new dress for the thoughts of another. And I thought he might express something which would be useful to me. I should like very much his correction as well as yours, if it be not too much trouble. Ms. This clearly shows how powerfully Emerson was already influencing other minds while he was still a clergyman, and had not print

mes after the pelting showers I have borne so long. Fuller Mss. III. 303-305. The allusion is to George Sand's Sept Cordes de la Lyre. The project of fiction went no farther, unless her fragment of an Autobiographical romance, written in 1840, was the result of it; and her first two published books were, naturally enough, translations from the German. She had expected, as early as November 30, 1834, as appears by a letter to the Rev. F. H. Hedge, to print her translation of Goethe's Tasso. Published after her death, in her Art, Literature, and the Drama. This had failed to find a publisher; but several years later George Ripley and other friends of hers projected and carried out, to the extent of fifteen volumes, a series of Specimens of foreign literature, composed of translations from the German and French. As announced in the preface to the first volume, dated February 22, 1838, the series was to have included A Life of Goethe, in preparation for this work, from origi
