yuletide

[wisdomeagle]

Alcott-love naturally leads one to Yuletide, which really makes you think... Google retrieves 2 million sites with the word "yuletide" in them.

The very first hit is Yuletide Treasure.

What can one say? Rarefic is taking over the internets!

Also, it took me till just now to realize that Alcott and Montgomery have the same first two initials. Louisa Mae/Lucy Maud, OTP! There love is so ellem.

i don't think so . . .

I just happened to read this today -- it's interesting; includes a quote from LMA about how she was never in love with a man, but lots of pretty girls, and Showalter says something about how "it's not clear whether she never married because of lesbian tendencies." To which my gut response was, "well, that letter you just quoted might be a HINT." I would like to be able to discuss this more intelligently, but the power of words seems to have left me.

*squeals* I mean, yeah. Rational discussion. And also, squealing.

when my brain is working better i'll find the quotes; but the essay is worth a look overall, too. I don't know whether I agree b/c I haven't actually read the book yet. But she basically defends Jo's marriage at the end.
