Louisa May Alcott

Forfatterbiografi

Louisa May Alcott (født 29. november 1832 i Germantown, Pennsylvania, USA; død 6. marts 1888 i Boston, Massachusetts) var en amerikansk forfatter. Hun regnes især for sin omfattende produktion af skønlitteratur til unge og børn, men hun skrev også poesi og kortprosa samt senere voksenromaner. Alcott voksede op i New England og udviklede sit forfatterskab gennem mange typer tekster, inden hun slog igennem med det værk, der skulle komme til at definere hendes ry: Little Women, der udkom i 1868-1869. Romanen skildrer fire søstres indbyrdes forhold og dannelsesrejse og blev hurtigt en klassiker i samtidens læsekultur. I forlængelse heraf udgav hun flere dele og beslægtede fortællinger, som fastholdt interessen for figurerne og deres livsvilkår. Alcott er dermed vigtig for litteraturhistorien, fordi hun gjorde den realistiske hverdag, moral og selvstændighed til centrale temaer i ungdomslæsning og bidrog til at forme, hvordan “pige- og ungdomshistorier” blev fortalt på tryk.
