Autorenporträt
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) remains one of the most beloved American novelists of the 19th century. Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, to transcendentalist educators Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail May Alcott, Louisa was raised in New England's intellectual circles and was deeply influenced by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Best known for her semi-autobiographical novel, 'Little Women' (1868), which drew on her experiences with her three sisters, Alcott's writing provided a detailed and nuanced exploration of domestic life and women's roles during a period of significant social change. 'Little Women', together with its sequels 'Little Men' (1871) and 'Jo's Boys' (1886), which constitute the 'March Family Saga', combined Alcott's rich storytelling with her advocacy for women's independence, subtly weaving feminist threads into the texture of her narratives. Alcott's literary style is characterized by its blend of morality, realism, and a gentle satire that resonated with a broad audience, from young readers to adults. Through her prolific career, Alcott also worked as a Civil War nurse and wrote for the Atlantic Monthly. Posthumously, her work continues to be a touchstone for discussions of American literature and the role of women in society.
