This article examines Louisa May Alcott’s novels Little Women (1868-1869) and Little Men (1871) not as two separate works but as a single, continuous chronicle of the March family. The relevance of the study stems from the fact that most existing scholarship connects the two novels only through shared characters, without substantiating their generic unity. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that the two novels together form one chronicle unfolding the history of the March family across three generations - the elder generation of Mr. and Mrs. March, their grown daughters, and the wards of Plumfield - and to identify a distinct moral-psychological model of the family chronicle genre. The scientific novelty lies in showing, for the first time, that generational continuity in this model is transmitted not through property or a family name but through upbringing and the daily order of the home, which fundamentally distinguishes it from the property-and-lineage model found in J. F. Cooper. The methodology combines comparative-typological, structural-semantic, and biographical methods, with particular attention to the chronotope of the home as a category organizing the narrative of both books. The results show that the two novels form a compositionally integrated structure in which moral experience is consistently transmitted from one generation to the next, while the home retains its function as a moral center regardless of changes in its physical boundaries or the composition of its inhabitants.
