add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Louisa May Alcott" by the author Katharine Anthony. Anthony tells the history of fame and frustration in the first mature biography of novelist Louisa Alcott. Presenting the facts of Alcott's life in her very readable fashion, Anthony catches, if she does not always explain, the torments and domestic trials of America's charming apostle of domesticity. Anthony has moreover, and this is the virtue of her book, sympathetically and acutely portrayed the sterile rewards of a life ruled by unreasoning conscience rather than reasonable pleasure.
