Ryan Ruby on the reissue of the Indiana poet Marguerite Young’s novel “Miss MacIntosh, My Darling,” and what makes the Great American Novel.

One of the first people to visit the new maze was the Indiana poet Marguerite Young, a descendent of Brigham Young, the Mormon leader. A literary prodigy who wrote her first poem at the age of six, Young was then at work on a series of ballads on Rapp’s and Owen’s utopian experiments. In what would become a pattern for her, the project grew well beyond its initial scope.

As with the two utopias Young describes in “Angel in the Forest,” you could “substitute” one theory of life “for another and get the same result.” Vera spends most of her time listening to other people, but she’s able to narrate the book partly because she’s reconciled the seemingly antithetical world views of her mother and her nursemaid.
