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. \u003ci\u003eA Modern Mephistopheles\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaming a Tartar\u003c\/i\u003e is a newly discovered Alcott thriller. Originally published as a serialization in Frank Leslie's \u003ci\u003eIllustrated Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisa May Alcott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275927806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275927806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.98d","brand":"Louisa May Alcott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913539420415,"sku":"9780275927806","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ac8227b7-2868-4e47-8c8d-c80e51ab01fe.jpg?v=1680620934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-modern-mephistopheles-and-taming-louisa-may-alcott-9780275927806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
