I believe the answer is:

alcott

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'louisa who wrote' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in rural cottage' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ALCOTT' is hidden within 'rural cottage'.

Can you help me to learn more?
