Abstract:
Louisa May Alcott, an American writer in the 19th century won her overnight fame by the publication of Little Women. This book was written in the form of a family journal, vividly representing a story of the March girls’ upbringing based on Louisa’s own life experiences. Considering the complex social background of the 19th century and her own cultural background, Little Women has been interpreted respectively from the perspectives of transcendentalism, feminism and puritanism for more than one century. The way Mr. and Mrs. March educated the four sisters is always regarded as the model of American family education, which has a non-ignorable impact on the modern American family education. Based on the theories of sociology of family education, this paper analyzes the influence of various new philosophies spread in the New England of the 19th century on the family education methods and how such family education gradually improved personalities of the four sisters, so as to have a comprehensive and objective understanding of the family education methods in the book. This also provides reference and basis for the interpretation of modern American family education.

《小妇人》的出版使美国19世纪女作家露易莎•梅•奥尔科特一举成名，《小妇人》形式上是一部家庭日志,取材自作者真实的家庭生活的经历，生动地讲述了马奇家四姐妹的成长故事。由于当时复杂的社会背景以及作者本人的文化背景，一个多世纪以来《小妇人》被分别从超验主义、女性主义、清教主义等视角进行了解读。小说中马奇夫妇对四姐妹的教育方式一直被奉为美国式家庭教育的典范，对现代美国家庭教育产生了不可忽略的作用。本文结合家庭教育社会学的理论知识，英语论文范文，略论19世纪新英格兰地区传播的新思想对小说中教育方式产生的作用以及小说中的教育方式如何逐步实现对四姐妹人格的改善，从而达到客观全面地理解小说中教育方式的目的。这也为理解现代美国家庭教育提供了参考和基础。
