About the Authors
  • Louisa May Alcott was very popular and respected as the author of novels, sensational tales, travel writing and temperance tracts. In addition to providing a wealth of new information for scholars interested in the writer, this considerable collection of nineteenth-century reviews also reveals more about the ways in which reading audiences were constructed in the nineteenth-century U.S. The reviews provide a window into nineteenth-century attitudes toward popular fiction and women writers as well.

    • This volume increases the number of nineteenth-century reviews indexed for Alcott almost tenfold
    • Includes the responses of nineteenth-century children as well as such notables as Henry James and Mark Twain
    • Sheds light on many of the most important nineteenth-century debates around literature
