Reveals new and fascinating dimensions of Alcott's work Here, collected for the first time in one volume, is a grand selection of Louisa May Alcott's many creative forays into the genres of romanticism, Gothicism, and realism. Written between 1852 and 1888, these works were chosen to show Alcott at her writing best. Louisa May Alcott: Selected Fiction gives us writing from all phases of Alcott's life and work and allows us to appreciate once again the blend of humor, defiance, and insight that has won generations of readers. From romance stories to sensational Gothic figures, to realism supporting abolition and women's rights, this collection demonstrates how Alcott's distinctive voice shaped her work.
