Louisa May Alcott : Her Life, Letters, and Journals
Louisa May Alcott: Her Life, Letters, and Journals, published in 1889, the year after Alcott's death, was edited by her friend Ednah Dow Cheney at the request of the family and remained the chief source for her biography for decades. Cheney links generous extracts from Alcott's diaries and letters with her own narrative, so that the reader hears Alcott on her Concord childhood among Emerson, Thoreau and her improvident philosopher father, the years of teaching, sewing and writing thrillers to keep the family afloat, her service as a nurse in the Civil War and the illness it left her, the sudden success of Little Women in 1868 and the burdens of fame and of her sister's children.
