The story of these remarkable sisters--and their central role in shaping the thinking of their day--has never before been fully told. Twenty years in the making, Megan Marshall's monumental biograpy brings the era of creative ferment known as American Romanticism to new life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth, the oldest sister, was a mind-on-fire thinker. A powerful influence on the great writers of the era--Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau among them--she also published some of their earliest works. It was Elizabeth who prodded these newly minted Transcendentalists away from Emerson's individualism and toward a greater connection to others. Mary was a determined and passionate reformer who finally found her soul mate in the great educator Horace Mann. The frail Sophia was a painter who won the admiration of the preeminent society artists of the day. She married Nathaniel Hawthorne--but not before Hawthorne threw the delicate dynamics among the sisters into disarray. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarshall focuses on the moment when the Peabody sisters made their indelible mark on history. Her unprecedented research into these lives uncovered thousands of letters never read before as well as other previously unmined original sources. \u003cem\u003eThe Peabody Sisters\u003c\/em\u003e casts new light on a legendary American era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51272103854303,"sku":"9780618711697","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/uFNSEaLM3b9780618711697.webp?v=1787806301"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/megan-marshall.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
