Louisa May Alcott Biografía y Hechos
Louisa May Alcott (Germantown, Pensilvania; 29 de noviembre de 1832-Boston, Massachusetts; 6 de marzo de 1888) fue una escritora (estilo gótico) estadounidense, reconocida por su novela Mujercitas (1868). Comprometida con el movimiento abolicionista y con el sufragismo, escribió bajo el seudónimo de A. M. Barnard una colección de novelas y relatos en los que se tratan temas tabúes para la época como el adulterio y el incesto.[1] Biografía Sus padres eran Abigail May y el pedagogo, escritor y filósofo trascendentalista Amos Bronson Alcott, vinculado al abolicionismo, al sufragio femenino y a la reforma educacional. Louisa tenía tres hermanas, Paca, Lizzie y Abba May. Su hermano Dapper murió a los dos días de nacer.[2] Creció y vivió en Nueva Inglaterra. Las cuatro hermanas fueron educadas en su propio hogar por su padre, mientras recibían visitas de ilustres vecinos como Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Theodore Parker, Margaret Fuller y Ralph Waldo Emerson.[2] A temprana edad, para ayudar económicamente a su familia, comenzó a trabajar esporádicamente como maestra, costurera, institutriz y escritora; su primer libro fue Flower Fables (1855), formado por cuentos originalmente escritos para Ellen Emerson, hija de Ralph Waldo Emerson. Durante su adolescencia y principios de la edad adulta, Alcott compartió la pobreza y los ideales trascendentalistas de su familia. Posteriormente esta fase de su vida fue descrita en el relato Fruitlands. Una experiencia transcendental[3] (Transcendental Wild Oats and excerpts from the Fruitlands Diary), reimpreso en el volumen Silver Pitchers (1876), que narra las experiencias de su familia durante un experimento utópico de «pleno vivir y elevado pensar» en «Fruitlands», en la ciudad de Harvard, Massachusetts, en 1843. Nunca contrajo matrimonio y se mostró, al igual que sus progenitores, activa en el plano social y político durante toda su vida, alineándose en contra de la esclavitud y apoyando con ahínco el voto de la mujer.[2] Fallecida su madre, se hizo cargo de su hogar. En la Guerra de Secesión fue enfermera en el Hospital de la Unión, en Georgetown, Washington D. C., durante seis semanas entre 1862 y 1863. Murió en Boston el 6 de marzo de 1888 a causa de las secuelas del envenenamiento por mercurio contraído durante su servicio en la guerra, el mismo día en que su padre era sepultado. Tenía cincuenta y cinco años de edad. Obra Louisa May Alcott escribió relatos y poemas desde joven. En 1851 publicó su primer texto con el pseudónimo de "Flora Fairfield", un poema que vio la luz en la publicación Peterson’s Magazine. Su primer libro publicado sería “Fábulas de flores” (1854). En 1860 comenzó a escribir para la revista The Atlantic Monthly. Sus cartas a casa, revisadas y publicadas en el Commonwealth y recopiladas como Hospital Sketches (Escenas de la vida de un hospital, 1863; reeditadas con adiciones en 1869), demostraron un agudo poder de observación y crónica, además de una sana dosis de humor retrospectivo, ganándose su primer reconpocimiento crítico. Su novela Moods (Estados de ánimo) (1864) también fue considerada prometedora. Una parte menos conocida de su obra son las novelas y cuentos que escribió bajo el pseudónimo A. M. Barnard. Trabajos tales como A Long Fatal Love Chase (Cacería de amor larga y fatal) y Pauline's Passion and Punishment (El crimen y castigo de Pauline) son el tipo de novelas románticas conocidas en la época victoriana como «relatos melodramáticos» o «sensation novels», de estilo gótico. Sus protagonistas son personajes obstinados e implacables en la búsqueda de sus objetivos, que a menudo involucran venganza contra aquellos que los han humillado o frustrado. Estos trabajos, que escribía principalmente como medio de subsistencia,[4] le reportaron éxito comercial y aún son de frecuente lectura. También produjo historias para niños, y con las excepciones del cuento autobiográfico Work, A Story of Experience (Trabajo. Un relato de vivencias)[5] (1873) y la novela corta anónima A Modern Mephistopheles (Un Mefistófeles moderno) (1877), que se sospechó podía haber sido escrita por Julian Hawthorne, no volvió a escribir para adultos. Mujercitas Alcott obtuvo un sorpresivo y abrumador éxito con la aparición de la primera parte de Mujercitas (Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy) (1868), relato en parte autobiográfico inspirado en su niñez junto a sus hermanas en Concord, Massachusetts. Esta obra fue escrita por encargo de su editor, que quería un libro orientado a mujeres jóvenes. La segunda parte, Aquellas mujercitas (Good Wives), publicado en 1869, llevaría a sus protagonistas a la vida adulta. Después de esta primera publicación, aparece conjuntamente con Mujercitas en las ediciones de su tiempo.[Nota 1] Más adelante, apareció Hombrecitos (Little Men) (1871), que trata de manera similar el carácter y la forma de ser de sus sobrinos que vivían en Orchard House en Concord, Massachusetts. Los muchachos de Jo[Nota 2] (Jo's Boys) (1886) completó la «saga de la familia March». La mayoría de sus volúmenes posteriores, Una chica anticuada (An Old-Fashioned Girl) (1870), Cuentos de la tía Jo (Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag) (en seis volúmenes, 1871-1879), Rosa en flor (Rose in Bloom) (1876) y otros, siguieron la línea de Mujercitas, de la cual el numeroso y leal público de la autora nunca se cansó. Mujercitas ha sido llevada al cine en varias películas, entre las cuales destaca una de ellas, la adaptación dirigida por Mervin LeRoy en 1949 y protagonizada por June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien, Janet Leigh, y Elizabeth Taylor. Libros Los cuatro libros de la saga Mujercitas Mujercitas o Meg, Jo, Beth y Amy (Little Women, 1868) Aquellas mujercitas (Good Wives, 1869). Más tarde se publicó conjuntamente con Mujercitas.
