Tra eccesso e misura: la Repubblica Romana in Moods di Louisa May Alcott Il romanzo Moods e i racconti a sensazione che Louisa May Alcott pubblicò nel decennio 1860 trasgredivano i confini narrativi, razziali e di genere. I riferimenti alla Repubblica Romana finirono col simboleggiare gli eccessi sentimentalisti censurati dall’establishment letterario.
