Ralph J. Poole, « Affective Deception: Experiencing Genderplay in Louisa May Alcott », European journal of American studies, ID : 10.4000/ejas.18512
The essay attempts to theorize affective responses to a selection of Louisa May Alcott’s texts. Little Men, Moods, “Enigmas ,” and “My Mysterious Mademoiselle” all feature scenes of cross-gender play and revolve around deception due to the play on stereotypical gender expectations. I am interested in how this deception affects the recipients, which includes besides the characters of the stories also the reader.
