Suggestions

Plot:

First introduction of Adam should have his last name; when his last name is introduced later, I knew who it was but I can see it confusing people who are not familiar with the story.
Similar thing with Moor, except he's missing his first name.
Perhaps remove "in fact" in the subsection for a more encyclopedic voice.

Themes and analysis:

Who is Sarah Wadsworth?
Is there more based on transcendentalism? Or is it just Emerson's essay?
Italicize The Independent. Moods also needs italics in the same sentence.
Is there any particular reason Faith Dane could be based on Fuller?
Does "play children" mean they pretended to be children?

Background and publication history:

⁠"The publisher of Hospital Sketches had suggested he would take her new book, however, he wanted Alcott to edit Moods to be half as long and she refused." Comma splice; needs semicolon or period.

Reception: ⁠*"Moods was "received positively by the public", however several reviewers commented the story was unrealistic and read more like a story created to make a point." Another comma splice. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 18:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
