Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Nevertheless, her family suffered severe financial difficulties and Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard and under it wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888. Henry James called her "The novelist of children... the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Louisa May Alcott (Germantown, Pennsylvania; November 29, 1832 - Boston, Massachusetts; March 6, 1888) was an American writer, recognized for her famous novel Little Women (1868). Committed to the abolitionist movement and suffrage, she wrote under the pseudonym of A. M. Barnard a collection of novels and stories dealing with taboo subjects for the time such as adultery and incest.Her parents were Abigail ("Abba") May and the transcendentalist educator, writer, and philosopher Amos Bronson Alcott, linked to abolitionism, women's suffrage, and educational reform. Louisa had three sisters, Anna, Lizzie, and Abba May. His brother Dapper died while still a child, growing up and living in New England. The four sisters were educated in their own home by their father, while receiving visits from illustrious neighbors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Theodore Parker, Margaret Fuller or Ralph Waldo Emerson.At an early age, to help her family financially, she began to work sporadically as a teacher, seamstress, governess and writer; his first book was Flower Fables (1855), made up of stories originally written for Ellen Emerson, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised among the New England Transcendentalists in Concord and Boston, Ms. Alcott grew up among some of the giants of American literature and history, including Emerson and Thoreau. However, her philosopher father Bronson Alcott was often unable to financially support his family, and Ms. Alcott devoted most of her life to giving her altruistic mother, her father and her sisters some financial security. During the Civil War, Ms. Alcott volunteered to nurse soldiers in Washington, D.C. but she became seriously ill after 6 weeks and never recovered her health, although that didn't stop her from working 14 hour days, writing, writing, writing. After the first volume of Little Women was published, editors began soliciting her work and paying her much higher rates. She kept right on working and was able to realize her dream of supporting her family in comfort and assisting others. Published in 1889 a year after her death, Ms. Alcott's letters and the journal supplemented with the editor's comments form a virtual autobiography, which reflects her idealism, integrity, humor and practicality. Sadly, she had most of the letters she wrote to her family destroyed (she also edited her journal), but the letters from her European trip with her sister were inadvertently saved by her father and are delightful. "I am in the garret with my papers round me, and a pile of apples to eat while I write my journal, plan stories, and enjoy the patter of rain on the roof, in peace and quiet." April 1855-age 22

Download or read book Alcott in Her Own Time written by Daniel Shealy and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1888, twenty years after the publication of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was one of the most popular and successful authors America had yet produced. In her pre-Little Women days, she concocted blood-and-thunder tales for low wages; post-Little Women, she specialized in domestic novels and short stories for children. Collected here for the first time are the reminiscences of people who knew her, the majority of which have not been published since their original appearance in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the printed recollections in this book appeared after Alcott became famous and showcase her as a literary lion, but others focus on her teen years, when she was living the life of Jo March; these intimate glimpses into the life of the Alcott family lead the reader to one conclusion: the family was happy, fun, and entertaining, very much like the fictional Marches. The recollections about an older and wealthier Alcott show a kind and generous, albeit outspoken, woman little changed by her money and status. From Annie Sawyer Downs’s description of life in Concord to Anna Alcott Pratt’s recollections of the Alcott sisters’ acting days to Julian Hawthorne’s neighborly portrait of the Alcotts, the thirty-six recollections in this copiously illustrated volume tell the private and public story of a remarkable life.
