From Library Journal:
Gathering four of Alcott's early sensation stories ("Pauline's Passion and Punishment," "V.V.," "Behind a Mask," and "Taming a Tatar") from a previous Alcott collection (Louisa May Alcott Unmasked: Collected Thrillers, LJ 4/15/95), rare book collector and Alcott scholar Stern illustrates the ways in which women's struggle for sexual power form the thread that knits together Alcott's fiction. Each of the stories records the degree to which Alcott's female protagonists succeed or fail to break away from male domination to fashion their own self-identities. In "Pauline's Passion and Punishment," for example, Pauline succeeds in defeating her male opponent only to become trapped in a terrifying new relationship with him. Since the stories in this volume are readily available in other collections, only libraries wanting to own every edition of Alcott's stories will want to purchase it.?Henry L. Carrigan Jr., Westerville P.L., Ohio
