Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet most famous for writing the novel Little Women , as well as its sequels Little Men and Jo’s Boys . She grew up in New England and became associated with numerous notable intellectuals of her time, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Henry David Thoreau. First published in 1863, Alcott’s Pauline’s Passion and Punishment is a thrilling short story of love, anger, and vengeance that will not disappoint fans and collectors of Alcott’s seminal work. Written while Louisa was a nurse during the American Civil war, the story explores the strict and unfair roles of men and women that were so evident at that time. Other notable works by this author include: An Old-Fashioned Girl (1886), Eight Cousins (1869), and A Long Fatal Love Chase (1875). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
