A researcher has discovered about a dozen stories and poems believed to have been written by Louisa May Alcott under a previously unidentified pseudonym. She was known to have gone by several pseudonyms during her career, and E.H. Gould is the potential new moniker discovered by Max Chapnick, a postdoctoral teaching associate in English at Northeastern University.

Little Women is one of my all-time favorite books and I was excited to see these new discoveries. The researcher mentions that he thinks there are even more stories out there like this that people will find in the future. Do you think Alcott could have more undiscovered works out there? https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/11/08/louisa-may-alcott-new-pseudonym/

    Rumor has it that, late in her career, she wrote quite a few techno-thrillers under the pen name “Tom Clancy”.
