What has been recovered throws new light on the children's books and asks us to question our assumptions about the suposedly staid and sentimental Alcott. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAlternative Alcott\u003c\/i\u003e includes works never before reprinted, including \"How I Went Out to Service,\" \"My Contraband,\" and \"Psyche's Art.\" It also contains \u003ci\u003eBehind a Mask\u003c\/i\u003e, her most important sensation story; the full and correct text of her last unfinished novel, \u003ci\u003eDiana and Persis\u003c\/i\u003e; \"Transcendental Wild Oats\"; \u003ci\u003eHospital Sketches\u003c\/i\u003e; and Alcott's other important texts on nineteenth-century social history.
