Alcott, Louisa May
Little women - 1st. - Oxford Oxford University Press 1998 - xxxvi,489p. - Oxford World's Classics .
Originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, Alcott wrote the book over several months at the request of her publisher.
Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success, with readers eager for more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume (titled Good Wives in the United Kingdom, though the name originated with the publisher and not Alcott). It was also met with success. The two volumes were issued in 1880 as a single novel titled Little Women. The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—and details their passage from childhood to womanhood. Loosely based on the lives of the author and her three sisters, it is classified as an autobiographical or semi-autobiographical novel.
