Abstract:

Starting from the observation that faith is an important aspect of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (1868-1869), we offer evidence that this novel is a vivid illustration of the author's version of American Protestantism, which takes the middle course between Puritanism and more progressive views of Christianity such as Unitarianism. The Alcottian version of religion as reflected in Little Women is closest to Horace Bushnell's view of Christian nurture presented in the book of the same name (1847), specifically, its emphasis on the parental role in instilling Christian virtues in children.

Abstract:

AbstractThe publishing history of an American classic in Sweden, Denmark and Norway illustrates how literature travels between countries and how translated books become integrated in the new national cultures. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (1868) still figures on lists of the most cherished, translated and influential children’s books. Sweden can probably boast of the longest translation history of all, starting in 1871, the latest translation appearing in 2016. The Danish material more or less replicates the Swedish, whereas data mining of the stacks of Norway’s National Library demonstrat

Abstract:

Abstract: This article reads Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (1868) against nineteenth-century mothering manuals and the psychoanalytic object-relations theory to argue that the novel links maternal rage with infanticide. Feminist scholars have noted how Little Women , though ostensibly a story of family harmony, conceals a deep vein of anger. Jo March's trajectory, like that of other nineteenth-century sentimental heroines, stages a transformation from rebellious tomboy to self-controlled angel-in-the-house. Attending to the ways in which the text persistently links anger to infanticide, thi

Abstract:

Film, along with other literary works such as books, poetry and theater, is one of the mediums used in the contemporary day to communicate messages to society. Greta Gerwig adapted the film Little Women (2019) from the novel Little Women (1868) by Louisa May Alcott. This film shows a breakthrough over the prejudice and discrimination towards women in 19th-century cinema. The subject of female gaze has received attention since, up to this point, women have frequently only been shown as passive narrative objects, or even as the principal sexual objects in movies.

Abstract. Film stories based on novels are nothing new nowadays. This adaptation process is a transfer of media, or specifically ecranisation, which can become works that can captivate audiences, both readers and viewer. This research examines the ecranisation analysis of the story “Little Women”, a novel by Louisa May Alcott (1868), which was later adapted into a film by director Greta Gerwig (2019). This study has a focus on examining the Little Women story through the theory of ecranisation in the form of shrinking plots, adding plots, or changing plot variations in the story. Data were ana

Abstract:

In my reading of Alcott’s Little Women tetralogy (1868-1886) I argue that the aesthetics it proclaim —mainly in the representation of the development of Jo’s literary endeavours—can be conceived in terms of what I here define as a ”popular sublime.” In short, it consists of a depiction of everyday existence that transcends into political dimensions and in the case of Jo runs from a sharply cut and exaggerated melodramatic style over sensationalist thrills before it finally lands in sentimentalism with a political aim. I thus claim the popular sublime to be a conceptual move away from the eight

Abstract:

Despite authoring almost thirty Victorian-set novels between 1960 and 1993, Victoria Holt (a pseudonym of Eleanor Hibbert) has received little critical attention. This article examines four of Holt’s novels and reveals key ways in which she ‘talks back’ to Victorian literature, specifically to <em>Jane Eyre</em> (1847), <em>The Moonstone</em> (1868), <em>The Woman in White</em> (1860) and ‘The Children’s Hour’ (1860). In particular, it investigates Holt’s neo-Victorian use of the asylum in her second novel, <em>Kirkland Revels </em>(1962), which highli

Abstract:

Continuing to trace Eliza Orme’s public life from the date of her 1888 LL.B. degree when she was forty years of age, this chapter shows how her public persona was shaped by a commitment to the Liberal Party of William Ewart Gladstone. Crucially, Gladstone and other Liberals opposed women’s suffrage, a circumstance that created difficulties not only for Orme personally, but also for the Women’s Liberal Federation of which she was a founding member. The chapter begins with a newspaper profile of Orme from 1892 that reveals how differently she was seen by allies and antagonists. For allies she wa

Abstract:

The third chapter exposes the exclusionary status of adulthood and the disciplinary work of age from a gendered perspective. Women were, in the words of one historian, “perpetual minors,” and this uneven distribution of rights perverted female development and preoccupied one of the most celebrated novelists of the century. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (1868) reveals the rhetoric of age as a core disciplinary idiom in the lives of girls and women, who must constantly calibrate their behavior and appearance to their chronological age. In Work: A Story of Experience (1873), she ventures that

Opening with a discussion of Ovid’s Pygmalion and its influence on Romantic and late-Romantic writing, this chapter focuses on the ways in which the aesthetic and sexual concerns it raises inform and complicate negotiations of heterosexual desire and the ‘purity’ of the artist in
