Author
Adam Mickiewicz is documented in Fuller’s letters and published essays (1847–1849). No work is named in the surviving passages, most often in Things and Thoughts in Europe . . . XXIV., and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
Passages where the evidence goes beyond allusion to indicate that Fuller had Adam Mickiewicz’s work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.

“I think to send you the inclosed invocation addressed to me by an illustrious person of Europe, the first time he saw me. [...] I look upon it with great reverence as one of the very few addresses to me to which I could respond. What he says of my having sinned in the old world, still finding my sustaining point there and trying to make it known to the new is so deeply true, also of my being purely idealist”
