How Like an Angel Came I Down: Conversations With Children on the Gospels

Rating:
Summary: Alcott was a transcendental philosopher and reformer.
Review: This is less a review than a comment on the way amazon has cross-referenced this book. It is not a "religious" book in the standard sense, but rather an amazing document from the annals of nineteenth-century reform. Bronson Alcott was Louisa May Alcott's father and an incurable romantic. He believed in the innate divinity (as opp. to depravity) of children and founded one of the first progressive kindergartens in America. I recommend this book to anyone interested in educational reform or American romanticism.
