Introduction

|
Louisa May Alcott, daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott, one of
Emerson's circle of friends, was born in Philadelphia in
1832. Educated mainly by H. D. Thoreau and her father, Miss Alcott
served as a hospital nurse during the Civil War. Her first book,
Flower Fables, appeared in 1854, and her next work, Hospital
Sketches (1863), consisted of her letters home from the Union
Hospital during the war. She first gained a wide reputation with
Little Women (1868-69), and her best subsequent work was done
in the same field. Her chief publications after Little Women
are the following: An Old-Fashioned Girl (1870), Little
Men (1871), Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag (1871-79), Work
(1873), Silver Pitchers (1876), Rose in Bloom (1876),
Jo's Boys (1886), and A Garland for Girls
(1887). Good Wives is the second part of Little
Women. Miss Alcott died in 1888. |
