After Lives: On Biography and the Mysteries of the Human Heart with Megan Marshall

-- Marshall and Stauffer discuss her new biography "After Lives" -- Recorded 20 March 2025 at Massachusetts Historical Society. Megan Marshall’s innovative books, including "The Peabody Sisters" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Margaret Fuller" are treasured works of American biography. Now Marshall turns her narrative gift to her own art and life, reinventing the personal essay as a portal to the past and its lessons for living into the future. The book’s six chapters range across centuries and continents, from Heian Kyoto to Hawthorne’s Concord, WWI Paris to 1960s Pasadena, Marshall’s California hometown, when Civil Rights gave way to Black Power as seen through the short, tragic life of her classmate Jonathan Jackson. Join Megan Marshall in conversation with distinguished historian John Stauffer as they discuss the biographer’s impulse to learn from others, as Marshall writes, “how to live, how not to live, what it means to live.” Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be notified of new videos: @MHS1791 Follow us! @MHS1791 on Instagram & X; @MassHistoricalSociety on Facebook
