This book is a collection of articles about the life and work of Frances Hodgson Burnett. The broad range of subjects and the varied backgrounds of the contributing authors are a tribute to Burnett's wide and international appeal. The book includes articles by three Burnett biographers, criticism of Burnett's works, and literary and social analysis of her books by scholars from several countries. These range from Pulitzer Prize winner Alison Lurie to new scholars who are being published here for the first time. The articles range from essays to transcripts of interviews and speeches and a filmography. The book presents new research on films and plays based on Burnett books. The primary organization of the essays is chronological, but the book is also arranged to reflect the structure of the 'Frances Hodgson Burnett: Beyond the Secret Garden Conference, ' held at California State University, Fresno, April 25-27, 2003
