She never intended them to be published, but the insights they provide into her remarkable life are invaluable.Alcott grew up in a genteel but impoverished household, surrounded by the literary and philosophical elite of nineteenth-century New England, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Like her fictional alter ego, Jo March, she was a free spirit who longed for independence, yet she dutifully supported her parents and three sisters with her literary efforts. In the journals are to be found hints of Alcott's surprisingly complex persona as well as clues to her double life as an author not only of "high" literature but also of serial thrillers and Gothic romances.Associate editor Madeleine B. Stern has added an in-depth introduction to The Journals of Louisa May Alcott, the only unabridged edition of Alcott's private diaries.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: BiographyItem Weight: 600gISBN-10: 0820319503Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 23mmAuthor: Louisa May AlcottContributor: Madeleine B.
