Cover of "Little Women"by Merrill. |
Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest,
or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over
wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.”
Alcott “combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial
ingredients of Romantic children’s fiction, creating a new form of
which Little Women is a unique model.” Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the “American Girl” and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.
