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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728154198304,"sku":"NEW0275927806","price":41.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/616dt7Uc6UL.jpg?v=1779422106","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-modern-mephistopheles-and-taming-a-tartar-0275927806","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
