Moncure Daniel Conway

    Moncure Daniel Conway fu uno scrittore radicale e abolizionista, la cui vita attraversò le correnti intellettuali americane ed europee. Sebbene radicato in un lignaggio patriottico e patrizio della Virginia, trascorse decenni all'estero, forgiarendo un percorso come ministro e saggista libero pensatore. Il lavoro di Conway esplorò le intersezioni tra riforma sociale, religione e biografia, lasciando un segno distintivo nel panorama intellettuale del suo tempo.
