Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women. In the mid-1860s, Alcott wrote passionate, fiery novels and sensational stories.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short-story writer, poet, reformer, and one of the most enduring figures in nineteenth-century American literature. Born in Pennsylvania and raised chiefly in Massachusetts, Alcott grew up in the intellectual world of New England Transcendentalism; her father, Amos Bronson Alcott, was associated with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the reformist circles of Concord. Before achieving fame with Little Women, Alcott worked as a teacher, seamstress, domestic servant, governess, and writer, supporting her family through persistent labour and professional determination.During the American Civil War, Alcott served briefly as a volunteer nurse at the Union Hotel Hospital in Georgetown, where she cared for wounded soldiers and contracted serious illness herself. Hospital Sketches, first published in 1863, grew from that experience and brought her early public recognition. Alcott later became internationally famous for Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys, An Old-Fashioned Girl, and other works of family and juvenile fiction, but Hospital Sketches remains central to understanding her as a Civil War writer, literary witness, and reform-minded observer of suffering, service, duty, and women's public work.
