-
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the connections between "how to" books and home/parenting manuals in the nineteenth century; the history and functioning of the Alcott family; and Louisa May Alcott's domestic fiction: the March Family Trilogy. The thesis of the study was that both the Alcott family and the March family exemplified ideas about parenting and home laid out by the nineteenth-century experts. Two important conclusions followed from this thesis: first, that the history of the Alcott family was not as odd as it might seem from a twentieth-century perspective; second, all was not sunshine and light in the March family, since, like the Alcotts, the March family actually adhered to restrictive and claustrophobic ideas of the time.
