"Behind a Mask" is a novella written by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1866
under the pseudonym A. M. Barnard. The story is set in Victorian era Britain
and follows Jean Muir, a deceitful governess who manipulates the wealthy
Coventry family to obtain their love, respect, and fortune. The novella has
become important in critical reinterpretation of Alcott's works and literary
importance. Critics treat the novel as a version of the "Beauty and the Beast"
trope, while others provide feminist critiques of the narrative. The dominant
themes in the novella are the positive treatment of actresses, acting, and
theatre, social class, and the attainment of agency. The story has been
adapted as a musical and a dramatic adaptation.
