| Summary | "At Home and Abroad; Or, Things and Thoughts in America and Europe" by Margaret Fuller Ossoli is a collection of travel writings and reflections penned in the mid-19th century. This work draws on Fuller’s extensive journeys through the United States and Europe, capturing the essence of her experiences and thoughts during a transformative period in American history, particularly regarding themes of freedom and individuality. The opening of the volume sets the stage for Fuller's explorations, beginning with her observations on the varied ways people travel and perceive the world around them. She categorizes travelers into three classes, highlighting a more discerning gaze that seeks meaning beyond mere observation. The narrative then transitions seamlessly into her personal account of visiting Niagara Falls, where she reflects on the overwhelming beauty and power of the natural landscape, contrasting it with human experiences and desires. Throughout the beginning, Fuller’s lyrical prose intertwines personal anecdotes with philosophical musings, inviting readers to contemplate the deeper significance of both nature and human endeavors.
