Author
Henry Scougal is documented in Fuller’s letters (1837). One work is named, all in Letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “read”.
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 Henry Scougal’s work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.
“What do you suppose Goethe and Scougal will say to one another as they are journeying side by side?”
