[John] Matteson, who won the Pulitzer for his biography of Alcott and her father, brings all his knowledge to bear on this behemoth edition of the novel, brimming over with artifacts and sidebars that attempt to illuminate this classic novel without defining it., Like other Norton Annotated Classics, The Annotated Little Women offers a bridge from nostalgia to a deeper understanding of the work, balancing Matteson's introduction, annotations and lengthy biographical essay with an inviting array of illustrations, photographs and color movie stills.

Synopsis
Since its publication in 1868-69, Little Women , perhaps America's most beloved children's classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and inspired six films, four television shows, a Broadway musical, an opera, and a web series. This lavish, four-color edition features over 220 curated illustrations, including stills from the films, stunning art by Norman Rockwell, and iconic illustrations by children's-book illustrators Alice Barber Stevens, Frank T. Merrill, and Jessie Wilcox Smith. Renowned Alcott scholar John Matteson brings his expertise to the book, to the March family it creates, and to the Alcott family who inspired it all. Through numerous photographs taken in the Alcott family home expressly for this edition--elder daughter Anna's wedding dress, the Alcott sisters' theater costumes, sister May's art, and Abba Alcott's recipe book--readers discover the extraordinary links between the real and the fictional family. Matteson's annotations evoke the once-used objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time, from the horse-drawn carriages to the art Alcott carefully placed in her story to references to persons little known today. His brilliant introductory essays examine Little Women 's pivotal place in children's literature and tell the story of Alcott herself--a tale every bit as captivating as her fiction., The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author., Since its publication in 1868-69, Little Women, perhaps America's most beloved children's classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations.

    This is a beautiful book. Looks brand new with dust jacket totally intact. Have only found a small stain on one page. It is bigger and heavier than I expected, but I love the format with room left for annotations and pictures along one side of each page.

    Invaluable Historical and Literary Reference Tool

    Well researched and filled with documentation, photographs, etc. much of which comes directly from the Alcott family's journals, writings, and also from the Alcott museum. Introduction, appendices, then on the pages near the relevant text are photos, journal entries, even explanations of literary and historical allusions to help place not only the Little Women book but also the entire era in context.
