Confirmed reading

Passages where the evidence goes beyond allusion to indicate that Fuller had this work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.

  • undatedLetter to Bettina BrentanoDemonstrated

    “Extract from a letter of Beethoven to Bettina Brentano, Toplitz, 1812. 'Kings and princes can indeed make professors...”

    Life Without and Life Within (essays)

    Presented as an 'extract from a letter' of a historical document reproduced at length, implying substantial verbatim excerpting.

When Fuller engaged with this work
