She wrote some of the most beloved stories of all time-Little Women
and Little Men-and some sensationalistic (but lesser known)
potboilers that still thrill: A Long Fatal Love Chase, Pauline's
Passion and Punishment, and others. Novelist Louisa May Alcott
(1832-1888) is an American treasure, one of the best known
novelists of the 19th century and an essential figure in the
literature and the social movements (early feminism; abolition) of
her day. This early biography, by American writer EDNAH DOW
LITTLEHALE CHENEY (1824-1904) and first published in 1888, explores
and gives context to Alcott's works through the prism of her life
and her experiences. From her poverty-stricken childhood in
Concord, Massachusetts to her time as a nurse for the Union Army
during the Civil War to her travels in Europe, this is an intimate
look at Alcott's life, told in part through her own words. As a
contemporary of Alcott, Cheney brings a perspective that no future
biography could add, making this an endlessly valuable addition to
our understanding of an important writer.
