All three novels are presented with art from the original editions and supplemented by seven rare stories and public letters - two restored to print for the first time in more than a century - as well as notes identifying the many allusions, quotations, and autobiographical episodes.
After the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott brought her genius for characterization and eye for detail to a series of revolutionary novels and stories remarkable for their forthright assertion of women’s rights. In the largely autobiographical Work- A Story of Experience, twenty-one-year-old orphan Christie Devon announces ‘a new Declaration of Independence’ and pursues economic self-sufficiency through a variety of jobs- servant, actress, governess, companion, and seamstress, among others. Eight Cousins and its sequel Rose in Bloom follow the fate of Rose Campbell, another orphan, who with the benefit of a progressive education charts her own course to fulfilment and love.All three novels are presented with art from the original editions and supplemented by seven rare stories and public letters - two restored to print for the first time in more than a century - as well as notes identifying the many allusions, quotations, and autobiographical episodes.
