Little Women
As Keyser demonstrates, Little Women possesses the richness and complexity of great literature and can be successfully taught or discussed at almost any level. While children will continue to read Little Women for its sentimental portrayal of an idealized family, adults can challenge themselves by reflecting on the questions this work raises in their lives and about their own families.

The Portable Louisa May Alcott
Although the publication of Little Women in 1868 earned Louisa May Alcott tremendous popularity, for a long time she was thought of as a writer of children's stories and considered—at best—a minor figure in the American literary canon. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, Alcott's vast body of work is being celebrated alongside the greatest American writers, and this collection shows why. The Portable Louisa May Alcott samples the entire spectrum of Alcott's work: her novels, novellas, children's stories, sensationalist fiction, gothic tales, essays, letters, and journals. Presenting her more daring works, such as Moods and Behind a Mask (both reprinted in their entirety), alongside the familiar heroines of Little Women, this singular collection offers readers a rich and wide-ranging portrait of this talented, prolific, and influential writer.
Whispers in the Dark
"For decades readers accepted Louisa May Alcott's sentimental portrayal of the domestic world of women and children as evidence of her wholehearted support of the conservative ideologies of Victorian America. The women's movement of the 1970s sparked a reexamination of Alcott's writings, revealing a more radical vein but failing to establish the extent to which this impulse was realized." "In an effort to clarify Alcott's intent, Elizabeth Keyser examines representative works: the sensation stories "A Whisper in the Dark," "A Marble Woman," and "Behind a Mask"; the children's classics Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys; and the novels for adults Moods, Work, and Diana and Persis.
