Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 - March 6, 1888) 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 also grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Alcott's family suffered from financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. 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, under which she wrote novels for young adults that focused on spies, revenge, and cross dressers. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, 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 from a stroke, two days after her father died, in Boston on March 6, 1888.
May Alcott, Louisa
Louisa May Alcott nasceu em Germantown, Pensilvânia, em 1832. Ela e suas três irmãs, Anna, Elizabeth e May, foram educadas pelo pai, filósofo e professor. Louisa passou a infância em Boston e em Concord, Massachusetts, onde seus dias foram iluminados por visitas à biblioteca de Ralph Waldo Emerson e excursões pela natureza com Henry David Thoreau. Louisa tinha uma imaginação fértil e muitas vezes suas histórias se transformavam em melodramas que ela e suas irmãs representavam para as amigas. Publicou mais de trinta livros, além de coleções e contos. Faleceu em 1888, apenas dois dias depois de seu pai. |
