Landscapes in Alcott's Works:Nationality,Modernity and Gender Views
Landscape plays an important role in the works of Louisa May Alcott,an American female writer in the 19th century,and embodies her meditations on nationality,modernity and gender perspective.By connecting transcendentalist thoughts with the native landscape in Concord,Alcott expresses her concern for American culture and nationality issues,conforming to the trend in the development of national literature in the United States.The descriptions of the landscape also reflect Alcott's radical thoughts,which is to use the rural landscape to express her reflections on the issues related to the modernization process,and to connect the landscape with the plight of women in this period and the ideal demands of the feminist movement.Concord presented in Alcott's writings is nothing less than an ideal national cultural shrine,a paradise"far from the madding crowd",a spiritual home for women,and a vital window to understand American national literature and the feminist movement during this period.
