Two dark stories from the woman the world knew for Little Women: a poet who sells his talent to a patron with a taste for ownership, and a girl shut in a madhouse by an uncle who wants her fortune. Louisa May Alcott published A Modern Mephistopheles anonymously in 1877 and never admitted to it in her lifetime. This is the writing she did for herself, and it is closer to Hawthorne than to Concord.
