But as for anyone who becomes interested in Keller's history, it is her teacher and long-time companion, Anne Sullivan, who becomes in many ways the more intriguing character. The Radical Lives of Helen Keller (2004) discusses Keller's political activism, and Helen Keller: Selected Writings (2005) assembles letters and articles, many of which have never appeared in print before. Nielsen's previous two books do a great deal to illuminate facets of Keller's life that have been ignored or downplayed by other biographers. In the introduction to her new biography of Anne Sullivan, Beyond the Miracle Worker, Kim Nielsen admits that after publishing two books about Helen Keller, she intended never again to write anything else that remotely touched on Keller's life.
