Margaret Fuller's Silences, Robert N. Hudspeth

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Silences are editors' bad luck: someone before us loses the evidence; our subject outsmarts us and refuses to say what we want most to hear from her; we ask questions she never even thought to answer. Let me make up some biographical conclusions from my reading of Margaret Fuller's letters: first, she had no interest in radical abolitionism or even in more moderate antislavery efforts in New England. Second, she almost never read and cared nothing for Charles Dickens, the most popular writer of his time. Third, she never rode the horse trolleys in New York City during her twenty-month …

What About That Twenty-Year Gap?, Carolyn De Swarte Gifford

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

What is the twenty-year gap? There are no journal volumes from fall 1870 until January 1893. After filling more than forty volumes-nearly five thousand pages detailing her life from her fifteenth through her thirty-first years, Frances E. Willard suddenly stopped keeping a journal. On her thirty-first birthday, 28 September 1870, she wrote: "[M]y Journal has this day been shaken hands with in a long adieu, and I here record my purpose to write no more wishy-washy pages of personal reminiscence." Then, just as suddenly, on New Year's Day 1893 she took up her journal again. "It is now over 20 …

John Adams: On Paper And In Person, Gregg L. Lint

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

In 1774 John Adams was a thirty-nine-year-old Massachusetts lawyer of modest means, middling height, and portly physique, who was ambitious, argumentative, over-earnest, direct to the point of rudeness, and intolerant of fools. How did this man, seemingly unsympathetic and ordinary when compared to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, become by 1776 Congress's most influential member? Why was he named president of the Board of War and appointed to the committees that drafted the Treaty Plan of 1776 and the Declaration of Independence? Why was he then chosen to serve as a diplomat in Europe and later elected vice …
