LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832-1888) Little Women or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy . Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1868. This barely disguised account of Alcott family life marks the advent of the modern juvenile novel, along with Mary M. Dodge's Hans Brinker (1866) and Thomas B. Aldrich's The Story of a Bad Boy (1870). In this tale of coming of age in nineteenth-century New England, Alcott portrayed childhood and adolescence with realism, naturalism and sincerity, even to the point of capturing the speech patterns and behavior of teenagers. This was quite unconventional for the fiction of her time. When Little Women was published in the fall of 1868, only a small number was printed, and these did not sell well. As a consequence, when the second part was issued the following year, it too was printed in a small edition, but became extremely popular, awakening the public to the first part, both of which were soon sold out. Thus the first issues of Little Women and Little Women, Part Second

WHAT POLLY FOUND IN HER STOCKING by: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) ITH the first pale glimmer, Of the morning red, Polly woke delighted And flew out of bed. To the door she hurried, Never stopped for clothes, Though Jack Frost's cold fingers Nipt her little toes. There it hung! the stocking, Long and blue and full; Down it quickly tumbled With a hasty pull. Back she capered, laughing, Happy little Polly; For from out the stocking Stared a splendid dolly! Next, what most she wanted, In a golden nut, With a shining thimble, Scissors that would cut; Then a book all pictures, "Children in the Wood." And some scarlet mittens Like her scarlet hood. Next a charming jump-rope, New and white and strong; (Little Polly's stocking Though small was very long,) In the heel she fumbled, "Something soft and warm," A rainbow ball of worsted Which could do no harm. In the foot came bon-bons, In the toe a ring, And some seeds of mignonette Ready for the spring. There she sat at daylight Hugging close dear dolly; Eating, looking, laughing

OUR LITTLE GHOST by: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) FT in the silence of the night, When the lonely moon rides high, When wintry winds are whistling, And we hear the owl's shrill cry; In the quiet, dusky chamber, By the flickering firelight, Rising up between two sleepers, Comes a spirit all in white. A winsome little ghost it is, Rosy-cheeked and bright of eye, With yellow curls all breaking loose From the small cap pushed awry; Up it climbs among the pillows, For the "big gark" brings no dread, And a baby's busy fancy Makes a kingdom of a bed. A fearless little ghost it is; Safe the night as is the day; The lonely moon to it is fair, The sighing winds to it are gay. The solitude is full of friends, And the hour brings no regrets, For in this happy little soul Shines a sun that never sets. A merry little ghost it is, Dancing gayly by itself On the flowery counterpane, Like a tricksy household elf; Nodding to the fitful shadows As they flicker on the wall, Talking to familiar pictures, Mimicking the owl's shrill call. A thoughtful little ghost it is;

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott was born on 29 November, 1832 on her father's 33rd birthday. She was the second of four daughters to Amos and his wife Abba May and was brought up in Concord, Massachusetts. Educated at home Louisa was fascinated by books and from an early age recalls 'playing with books in my father's study - looking at pictures, pretending to read, and scribbling on blank pages whenever pen or pencil could be found'. Alcott never married, and many of her essays explore the possibilities of a single life for women. In 1862 she volunteered as a nurse in a Civil War army hospital in Washington but after only six weeks she contracted typhoid fever and was forced to return home. The break from her family and her experiences gave her the material for her first successful book, Hospital Sketches. The success of Little Women in 1868 brought both fame and the financial security she had so long desired for her family and she went on to write other stories in the same vein; An Old-Fashioned Girl (1870); Little Men (1871); Eight Cousins (1875); Rose in Bloom (1876); Jo's Boys (1886) and others. In 1871 Alcott visited Europe and on her return to Boston became involved with women's suffrage and temperance movements. Alcott died in Boston in 1888, the same day her father was buried."

When she was almost 2 years old, Louisa's family moved to Massachusetts, the state where she lived the bulk of her life. The family moved many times over the years, usually back and forth between Boston and Concord (Mass.). Some notable places Louisa lived were "Fruitlands" in Harvard, Massachusetts; "Hillside" in Concord; and "Orchard House," also in Concord. "Fruitlands" was the site of her father's attempt at Utopian living, which she wrote about in Transcendental Wild Oats , thirty years later in 1873. Louisa's childhood at "Hillside" (later renamed "Wayside" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he lived there) served as the basis for the action in her most popular novel, Little Women , which she wrote as an adult living in "Orchard House." Interestingly, these latter two houses were located next door to each other, with a walking path through the woods between. They are both still standing and open for tours in Concord.

Rare Collection Alcott Collection Louisa May Alcott Table of Contents Biography Primary Source Material Full text works Web resources Biography Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) is widely known as author of Little Women or Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy and until the late twentieth century her literary reputation largely rested on this work. Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania to the transcendental philosopher Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail May, Louisa grew up in Concord, Massachusetts with her three sisters. The family often experienced severe poverty and Louisa's income became pivotal to the family survival. She worked as a nurse, seamstress and domestic servant until the publication of her first book Flower Fables in 1855 which netted the author thirty-two dollars. With the publication of Little Women in 1868 Alcott achieved critical and financial success. The characters of the novel were drawn from those of Alcott's sisters, and many of its episodes from those she and her family had experienced. Alcott's masterpiece was followed by a succession of wholesome domestic narratives, the so-called Little Women series. Since Alcott's death her reputation has been reappraised as a result of the discovery of a large number of sensational "pot-boilers," written in secret and published anonymously or under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard. These tales, written prior to the publication of
