A STIRRING Literary Classic by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT.
Behind a Mask by AMERICAN author LOUISA MAY ALCOTT is a novella-length work of literary fiction first published in 1866 in the UNITED STATES.
THE SENSATIONAL classic story showcases the expert manipulations of a femme fatale, the governess Jean Muir who insinuates herself into the good graces of the Coventry family.
Sneak Peak
'For several days Coventry was confined to his room, much against his will, though everyone did their best to lighten his irksome captivity. His mother petted him, Bella sang, Lucia read, Edward was devoted, and all the household, with one exception, were eager to serve the young master. Jean Muir never came near him, and Jean Muir alone seemed to possess the power of amusing him. He soon tired of the others, wanted something new; recalled the piquant character of the girl and took a fancy into his head that she would lighten his ennui.'
Synopsis
The story belongs with many other thrillers and mysteries that Alcott published under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard. The story touches on themes of social class, acting and the struggle for agency. "Behind A Mask" is considered a masterpiece by Alcott in the genre of sensation fiction. The story is set during the Victorian era, at the Coventry Mansion. The family's hiring of a governess sets off a chain of events. Jean Muir, an actress masquerading as a governess, becomes Lady Coventry, in this twist on the classic plot of governess character.

Über den Autor
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer, reform-minded thinker, and one of the most enduring authors of nineteenth-century children's literature. Born in Pennsylvania and raised largely in Massachusetts, Alcott grew up in a household shaped by Transcendentalist ideals, educational experiment, reform politics, and frequent financial strain. Her father, Amos Bronson Alcott, was a philosopher and educator, and the family's circle included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, and other major figures of New England intellectual life.Alcott began writing early and worked steadily to help support her family, producing stories, sketches, thrillers, children's fiction, and domestic fiction before achieving lasting fame with Little Women in 1868. Her books often centre on family duty, women's work, self-command, education, friendship, and the formation of moral character. In novels such as An Old-Fashioned Girl, Alcott created heroines whose strength comes not from display or social advantage, but from usefulness, independence, affection, and principle. For readers of classic children's fiction, nineteenth-century American literature, girls' coming-of-age stories, and family fiction, Alcott remains one of the essential voices of American letters.
