Researcher uncovers a new body of work believed to be by Louisa May Alcott

Academic suggests seven short stories, five poems and one non-fiction work were written by the Little Women author under the name EH Gould

A researcher has uncovered a trove of stories and poems he believes to have been written under a pseudonym by Little Women author Louisa May Alcott.

In late 2021, American academic Max Chapnick read about a story, The Phantom, while working on his PhD. The story is known to be Alcott's - it features in the lists the writer made of her works - but had not yet been found.
