Little Women has remained enduringly popular since its publication
in 1868, becoming the inspiration for a whole genre of family
stories. Set in a small New England community, it tells of the
March family: Marmee looks after daughters in the absence of her
husband, who is serving as an army chaplain in the Civil War, and
Meg, Jo,Beth, and Amy experience domestic trials and triumphs as
they attempt to supplement the family's small income. In the second
part of the novel (sometimes known as Good Wives) the girls grow up
and fall in love. The novel is highly autobiographical, and in Jo's
character Alcott portrays a strong-minded and independent woman,
determined to control her own destiny. The introduction to this
edition provides a fascinating history of the Alcotts,and of Louisa
Alcott's own struggles as a writer. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
