About This Item
New York: Arno Press, 1978. first edition. hardcover. Book near fine: clean, square, tight, unmarked./DJ very good: mild rubbing, age toning, NOT clipped ($9.50). 8vo130pp. from front flap: "When Louisa May Alcott's papers were collected and stored in cartons after her death, eighty sheets of pale blue stationery were tossed into a cardboard box and were soon forgotten It was only through a clue in her sister's diary, "Louisa is at the Bellevue writing her Art story," that Diana and Persis was discovered and is published now for the first time. As in Little Women, Alcott draws on her own experiences with her sister, May. The author is especially concerned here with the role of intelligent women who confront the still-open debate of career versus marriage. Playing the painter Persis against the sculptor Diana in shared experiences and letters, Alcott shows the straining for fulfillment that was her own life story." #01363.
