In An American Princess, Laurie Dennett relates the remarkable story of a New England woman whose wealth, intelligence, and charm took her to the heart of aristocratic and intellectual Europe. Marguerite Chapin (1880–1963) was the product of two cultures: her father’s enterprising American one and her mother’s French heritage, which enabled her to move to Paris when she inherited a fortune at age twenty-one. There, she studied singing with the greatest tenor of the age, commissioned paintings from artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and André Derain, and drew upon her many friendships with writers to found and edit the pioneering literary review Commerce. Her marriage, in 1911, to the composer Prince Roffredo Caetani, a member of one of Italy’s oldest dynasties, added a whole new dimension to her life. Not only did it bring her a title, but happiness, two children, and a set of extraordinarily talented in-laws. When Marguerite and Roffredo moved to Italy in 1932, she found refuge from fascism and an outlet for creativity at Ninfa, the estate where the Caetani had created a garden among the ruins of a medieval town. At age sixty-eight, having survived the death of her son, the war, and the German occupation, Marguerite launched the international review Botteghe Oscure. Its aim was to reclaim respectability for Italian writing, but through her discerning and generous editorial vision, it became a showcase for writers everywhere. An engrossing biography based on extensive original research, An American Princess celebrates Marguerite Chapin Caetani’s impressive accomplishments and legacy.

Als Herausgeber poetischer Taschenbücher und literarischer Zeitschriften stand Leo von Seckendorf (1775-1809) in brieflichem Austausch mit fast allen bedeutenden Autoren von der späten Aufklärung über die Klassik bis zur Romantik. Über die Bedeutung der prominenten Briefpartner hinaus gewährt die enorm vielseitige, aber bislang nur in wenigen Ausschnitten zugängliche Korrespondenz einen ergiebigen Einblick in die Funktionsweise des literarischen Marktes um 1800. Zudem enthält sie, aufgrund der aktiven Teilhabe Seckendorfs an verschiedenen literarisch-künstlerischen Zirkeln in Weimar, Regensburg, Stuttgart und Wien eine Vielzahl authentischer Mitteilungen zur geselligen Kultur der Epoche. Mit dieser ausführlich kommentierten Edition von über 300 Briefen aus dem umfangreichen und weit verstreuten Nachlass Seckendorfs wird eine überaus breit gefächerte Korrespondenz erstmals ihrer Bedeutung entsprechend gewürdigt und durch ein Repertorium und Briefverzeichnis vollständig erschlossen.
