7. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
- www.georgetown.edu
- Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888).
- "Actress," the third chapter of Louisa May Alcott's novel Work, provides an ideal introduction to the author, for throughout her career Alcott was concerned with woman as actress--both on and off stage. ... Thus they need to understand that professional acting in Alcott's day placed women beyond the pale of respectable society. ... But Alcott's contemporaries may also have believed that the element of duplicity involved in acting was incompatible with their ideal of woman as simple, artless, without guile. This disjunction between woman and actress is suggested by the title of a reprinted Alcott sensation story, "LaJeune: or, Actress and Woman" (one of four stories with actress heroines in Freaks of Genius). ... Like "LaJeune," Alcott's actress stories imply that a woman can preserve her integrity while pursuing a public career but that a patriarchal society forces women to become actresses in their private lives. Thus, Judith Fetterley has observed of Jean Muir, the professional actress turned governess in Alcott's best-known sensation story, "Behind a Mask," that in order to analyze the needs of every person in the house, Muir must be supremely conscious. ...
- Some of Alcott's heroines, like Christie Devon, Jean Muir, and LaJeune, are professional actresses, but the heroines of other authors, such as Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and Edith Wharton, appear only in amateur theatricals or tableaux vivants. Sylvia Yule, the heroine of Alcott's first novel, Moods, enacts scenes from Shakespeare for male friends (as Christie later does in Work) and, like Jo March in Little Women, revels in male roles, giving vent to feelings she cannot otherwise express. Similarly, Gladys, the angelic heroine of Alcott's full-length sensation novel, A Modern Mephistopheles, suggests the complexity of women's nature, its intellectual and emotional range, by playing the villainous Vivien from Tennyson's Idylls of the King. But even entirely off-stage Alcott's heroines strike poses and assume disguises, play roles and contrive scenes. ... The pervasiveness of stagecraft in Alcott's fiction--the extent to which her heroines don masks and play roles--has led some critics to suspect the author of a similar duplicity. Fetterley and others see Alcott's persona as Aunt Jo, the author of Little Women and its sequels, as a kind of mask. ... Rena Sanderson and others argue that Alcott, in having the hero of A Modern Mephistopheles confess to having passed off another's works as his own, confesses to her own literary hoax.
- The male narrator of Alcott's story "A Double Tragedy" asserts that "an actor learns to live a double life. " So, too, according to Alcott's fiction, do women--and women authors. ... Thus Alcott, by having Christie play Peg Woffington in Charles Reade's Masks and Faces, signifies the entrapment of women in multiple roles and the difficulty of escaping them without injury.
