Louisa May Alcott: Her Life, Her Times And Her Literature
The subject of this unit is Louisa May Alcott with an emphasis on showing how her background shaped her writing and the similarities between her life and her best known novel: Little Women. Louisa May Alcott came from an interesting family and her tendency was to write books that borrowed their characters from her own relatives. She led a fairly colorful life for a woman born in 1832. She was a prolific writer, but also served as a nurse, teacher and suffragette. The classics are sometimes forgotten and this unit attempts to provide some strategies and ideas for bringing this author and her book alive to twentieth century students.
