I. The American

New world thinking

An English Sappho

Making a trade of her wit

Uniting the laudable affections of the mind

II. The professional

Debating "genius"

Prospering in a patronizing profession

"The same darling end ... by different means"

Recasting a career

III. The celebrity

"The law of custom" ... or of "fools"?

"Work upon that now!"

Friendship, marriage, and motherhood

"A pen that conferred immortality"

Lennox's afterlife.
