 Eden’s
Outcasts: The Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Father
By John Matteson.
528 pages, hardbound, $29.95
Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for biography!
"John Matteson's Eden's Outcasts sheds new
light on one of America's first families of literature. Elegantly written
and
brimming with insights,
this gripping account of the complex relationship between the loving
but troubled Bronson Alcott, a 'genius' who had lost his way,
and his brilliant willful daughter Louisa keeps pace with Little
Wmen as
a narrative of domestic entanglements and individual striving. Matteson's
portrait
of Bronson and Louisa is painted on a large canvas, capturing an era
when ideals and practice collided as never before in the history of the
American nation."
-- Megan Marshall, author of The Peabody Sisters
