ALCOTT AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT. ALCOTT, LOUISA MAY. 1832-1888. Autograph Manuscript, being the printer's copy of 'Jerseys, or the Girl's Ghost,' 54 pp on 53 leaves, various papers, written mostly recto only, with p '12 1/2' inserted in place, and lacking p 31, primarily 204 x 135, some smaller sheets inserted, ink on various papers, n.d. [1884], with corrections and emendations. Bound in later blue morocco, titled in gilt on spine. Corners rubbed, slight soiling and some fingermarks, repairs to margins of first leaf. Provenance: Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate on front paste-down); sold, her sale, Christies, New York, February 21, 1989, lot 1677. RARE AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT by the author of Little Women. This is the setting copy with printer's markings in the text, including a notation at the upper right corner of the first page, next to the title: 'July St. Nic ... Wanted soon, by May 4th' The story was published in St. Nicholas magazine, volume XI, number 8, July 1884, and was later included in the collection Spinning-Wheel Stories. Jerseys is perhaps the most important of her Spinning Wheel Stories, a collection of often polemical narratives. An early feminist, Alcott introduces the latest concepts of late 19th Century dress and diet reform. Not every student at Madame Stein's Select Boarding School welcomes the new teacher's radical principles. 'I do hope Miss Orne isn't full of the new notions about clothes, and food, and exercise, and rights and rubbish of that sort,' complains narrow minded Maude. 'Mamma hates such ideas, and so do I.' Despite initial resistance to her instruction, Miss Orne's experiment proves in the end to be a great success in the preparation of healthy young lives. No other important Louisa May Alcott manuscript for a work of fiction has come up for auction in nearly forty years. See Eiselein and Phillips, The Louisa May Alcott Encyclopedia, p 158; Stern 228 and 234.
