Actually, Fuller got "fired" from Harvard as he put it -- expelled. He'd romanticized the place to the point that he couldn't stomach the reality (a family tradition). The last straw: he went to New York and took the whole cast of some play out for drinks. At least he read his great aunt's stuff: Margaret Fuller Osoli was big in the New England Transcendentalist movement [1], and there's literary evidence to suggest we certify Fuller as the last of same.[2] He partially redeemed himself at Harvard in the 1960s, holding the Charles Eliot Norton chair of poetry for a spell. Here's my bio of the guy, FYI: http://www.grunch.net/synergetics/bio.html Kirby [1] http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/transcendentalism/margaret_fuller.html [2] http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id169/pg1/ _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
