Overview

Louisa May Alcott has always been associated with literature for children and young adults. Here in effect is a "new" book by the universally popular Alcott. A Modern Mephistopheles is an extraordinary narrative, combining profound intellectualism, gaudy sensationalism, and strong feminist tendencies. Its subject, style, and language mark radicial deviations from those expected of Alcott. Taming a Tartar is a newly discovered Alcott thriller. This unique book marks the first general printing of an Alcott story and the first reprinting in some 75 years of her neglected novel.

About the Author

Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married “because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man. She was an advocate of women’s suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.
