Showing results for "Behind The Mask" in Literature & Fiction

Originally published in 1866 under the pseudonym "A. M. Barnard." Louisa May Alcott's novel of romance and sexual intrigue is one of her lesser-known gems. Its tone and characterizations strike a markedly different chord from her best-known works, such as "Little Women" and "Little Men," and it remains a popular addition to her oeuvre.

B.J. Harrison reads Louisa May Alcotts famous novella "Behind a Mask", which is widely considered to be Alcotts masterpiece in sensation fiction. A wealthy Victorian-era family recruits Jean Muir as sixteen-year-old Bellas governess. But soon enough, Jean Muir appears to have everyone under her spell, and to have the power to do everything as she pleases. This novella from the late 19th century was initially published under Louisa May Alcotts pseudonym A. M. Barnard...

In the years before Little Women, Louisa May Alcott anonymously wrote several thrillers in order to make ends meet. Dubbed as her “blood and thunder tales”, they reveal a bright, inventive and passionate writer driven to keep the listener riveted. Behind a Mask is considered the best of these tales. Jean Muir works her will on the Coventry family, who are rich, indolent, and ripe for the picking. While also tackling themes of social status and feminism, Alcott deftly delivers a shocking tale of obsessive intrigue.

Behind a Mask; or, a Woman's Power by Louisa May Alcott - Set in Victorian era Britain, the story follows Jean Muir, the deceitful governess of a rich Coventry family. With expert manipulation, Jean Muir obtains the love, respect, and eventually the wealth of the Coventry family.

Als Anna und Zane sich nach Jahren der Trennung wiederfinden, glaubt sie an die große Liebe. Doch hinter Zanes kontrolliertem Lächeln verbirgt sich ein Reich aus Intrigen, Gewalt und unbändigem Ehrgeiz. Jeder Schritt an seiner Seite kostet sie ein Stück ihrer Unschuld – und führt sie tiefer hinein in eine Welt, aus der es kein Zurück gibt. Doch was passiert, wenn Anna erkennt, dass sie diese Dunkelheit nicht mehr fürchtet … sondern sich immer stärker nach ihr verzehrt?

Fans of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women will remember that her heroine Jo wrote racy novels before turning her hand to more "serious" literature. Alcott, writing under the pseudonym A. M. Barnard, often did the same, and Behind a Mask (1866) is one of her sensation novels. It focuses on Jean Muir, who enters the home of the wealthy Coventry family as governess to their sixteen-year-old daughter. But is the beguiling Miss Muir all that she seems to be?
