Synopsis: Part of the Norton Library series The Norton Library edition of Little Women features the complete first edition of 1868–69, along with a selection of original illustrations. Sarah Blackwood’s compelling introduction explores the biographical, intellectual, and artistic origins of Alcott’s novel, along with the extraordinary effect it has had on subsequent literature. The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations—influential works of literature and philosophy—introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they’ll re-read over a lifetime. Inviting introductions highlight the work’s significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence. Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed. An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition. This purchase offers access to the digital ebook only.
