{"product_id":"modern-mephistopheles-and-taming-a-tartar","title":"Modern Mephistopheles and Taming a Tartar","description":"\u003cp\u003eLouisa 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. \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\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218624860504,"sku":"9780275927547","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/modern-mephistopheles-and-taming-a-tartar","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
