Abstract

Among Henry James’s early book reviews, there is only one dealing with literature for the young. James’s opinion on Louisa May Alcott’s Eight Cousins is negative, yet the review deals rather with the didactic outcome of the novel and not with its literary aspects. James’s review is especially intriguing as it shows his attitude to matters which are definitely not the concern of his subsequent fiction – his approach to the upbringing of children.
