The daughter of transcendentalist and education reformer A. B. Alcott, young Louisa was for a time the pupil of Henry David Thoreau. Early on, she was a frequent contributor to magazines, using the pseudonym A. M. Barnard. Her Hospital Sketches , which relates her experiences as an Army nurse during 1862, was published in 1863, and won her some critical acclaim. Her 1865 novel Moods proved less successful. In 1869, Alcott published Little Women , a book modeled upon her family and other people she knew in New England, to great popular success.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania. 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. Louisa May Alcott's father, Amos Bronson Alcott, was an importantthough controversialman in his times and in his community. He is perhaps best known for being a philosopher and an education reformer, but he was also a leader in the Transcendentalist movement as well as a teacher, school superintendent, and an author. He established both the Temple School, in Boston, and the Concord School of Philosophy. Although he was a loving father, he was not very responsible or practical, so Louisa's mother, Abigail May Alcott, filled the role of "head of household". Just like Jo, the protagonist in her Little Women, Louisa had three sistersone older (Anna Bronson Alcott) and two younger (Elizabeth "Lizzie" Sewall Alcott and Abba May Alcott). And, much like Jo's sister Beth, Lizzie died at age 22 from complications of scarlet fever. But, unlike Jo, Louisa also had a little brother, who died as an infant.

The New Nation (1790-1828) Alcott's School of Philosophy in Concord, Massachusetts Educator Amos Bronson Alcott, Father of Louisa May Alcott, Was Born November 29, 1799 Alcott put his educational theories to the test with his own family. He and his wife had four daughters, Anna, Louisa, Lizzie, and May. Alcott believed that education should be a pleasant experience, and he included physical education, dance, art, music, nature study, and daily journal writing in the course of studies he established at his school. At first the school was successful, but it later failed when he insisted on allowing a black child to attend, and by 1835, all the remaining pupils had withdrawn. The financial success of Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), who wrote about a family based on her own in the classic novel Little Women (1868-1869), was a big help to the Alcott family. The Alcotts moved to Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, where Amos Alcott established the Concord Summer School of Philosophy in a converted barn. The school flourished until shortly after his death in 1888. page 3 of 3 Home Jump Back in Time The New Nation (1790-1828) Bronson Alcott Page 3 Site Map

Louise May Alcott Biography Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), American author, was the daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott, and though of New England parentage and residence, was born in Germantown, now part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 29, 1832. She began work at an early age as an occasional teacher and as a writerher first book was Flower Fables (1854), tales originally written for Ellen, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry David Thoreau , but had chiefly been in the hands of her father; and in her girlhood and early womanhood she had fully shared the trials and poverty incident to the life of a peripatetic idealist. In a newspaper sketch entitled "Transcendental Wild Oats", afterwards reprinted in the volume Silver Pitchers (1876), she narrated, with a delicate humour, which showed what her literary powers might have been if freed from drudgery, the experiences of her family during an experiment towards communistic "plain living and high thinking" at "Fruitlands", in the town of Harvard, Massachusetts, in 1843. The story of her career has been fully and frankly told in Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney's Louisa May Alcott: Her Life, Letters and Journals (Boston, 1889). (C. F. R.)

(from Louisa May Alcott, Her Life Letters, and Journals Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown (now part of Philadelphia). During her childhood her family moved to Boston. She spent most of her life in the Boston-Concord area, and received almost all her early education from her father Bronson Alcott (1799-1888), who was member of the New England Transcendentalists. He was an idealistic, if impractical person, who believed in the spiritual life, as contrasted with the material life. When a visiting English author criticized her father's teaching methods, the schoolmaster Alcott moved with his family to Concord. Among the family friends were Theodore Parker, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Alcott began to keep diary at the age of seven. Her first book, FLOWER FABLES (1854), a collection of tales, was originally written for Emerson's daughter Ellen. After the failure of her father's utopian community

Louisa May Alcott Author Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. As a child she was very adventurous, hated to be bored, and always wanted to play with the boys (which was not acceptable at the time). She was taught mostly at home by her father. Her writing talent was noticeable at an early age and her parents encouraged her to write, especially in her diary. As a teenager she wrote several plays, poems, and short stories. In 1834 the Alcott family moved to Massachusetts finally settling in the Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts. There they became neighbors with the families of other writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. To help support her family, Alcott worked as a teacher, seamstress, and servant. Her varied work experiences provided her with material for her novels. Hospital Sketches, published in 1863, was a fictional account of Alcott's six months as a volunteer nurse in a military hospital during the Civil War. The book was such a success that Alcott believed she should write novels depicting real life. Little Women (1868), her most popular novel, was about the life of the March family and she used members of her own family as characters. Little Men (1871) continues the story of the March family and Jo's Boys (1886) depicts the careers and marriages of the March sisters' children and friends.

Boston. 1977."Louisa May Alcott's story of the March family is really the story of the Alcotts - and the truth is far different from the author's often syrupy fantasy. Her father, Bronson, let his wife and daughters suffer while he philosophized. He did not believe in working for wages but he was perfectly willing to have his wife and daughters do it for him. It was Louisa's pen that would eventually save them all from starvation, but at great cost to her own health and happiness. Outwardly a self sacrificing, if slightly eccentric, New England spinster, Louisa May Alcott led a rich inner life that enabled her to deal with her father's indifference and to create, under a pseudonym, heroines who smoked hashish and exacted vengeance against uncaring males" dust jacket.
