An Interesting Look at 19th Century Transcendental and Utopian Philosophies!,
This review is from: Bronson Alcott's Fruitlands with Transcendental Wild Oats (Paperback)
Louisa May Alcott wrote Transcendental Wild Oats as a biting satire on life in a 19th century Utopian community, based on her own family's experience at Fruitlands. She portrays the father figure as a dreamer and intellectual, and the mother as the one who has to do all the work to meet worldly needs like food and shelter. Her work adds the spice to the other works which are to be taken at their face value.
