Louisa May Alcott has always been associated with literature for
young adults and children. Here is in effect a new book by the
universally popular Alcott, a book that reveals an altogether
different image of one of America's best-loved authors. A Modern
Mephistopheles began as a rejected sensational novel and was
revised by Alcott for anonymous publication in 1877. Its subject,
style, and language mark radical deviations from those expected of
Alcott. Taming a Tartar is a newly discovered Alcott thriller.
Originally published as a serialization in Frank Leslie's
Illustrated Magazine, this astounding page-turner highlights
Alcott's feminists leanings. This unique book marks the first
general printing of an Alcott story and the first reprinting in
some 75 years of a neglected Alcott novel. Both works are closely
analyzed in the detailed introduction by Madeleine B. Stern.
