General for the Series: The Casebooks in Criticism introduce
readers to the essential criticism on landmark works of literature
and film. For each volume, a distinguished scholar who is an
authority on the text has collected the most elucidating and
distinctive scholarly essays on that work and added key supporting
materials. Each volume includes a substantial introduction which
considers the key features of the work, describes its publication
history, and contextualizes its cultural import and contemporary
reputation while also surveying the major approaches which have
informed the works critical history. A condensed bibliography
offers suggestions for further reading. The compact volumes provide
a critical survey and suggest provocative ways to engage with their
texts. They are ideally suited to those interested in developing a
deeper understanding of a works history and significance. Specific
for this book: Most of the best criticism on Stowe's landmark novel
is fairly recent. Until the combined impact of the civil rights and
women's movements changed the focus of the academic ciriculum,
Uncle Tom's Cabin seldom appeared in classrooms or as the subject
of published scholarship. However, from the mid-1970 forward, the
book has been widely written about and taught. Today, Uncle Toms
Cabin is a stable, important part of the nineteenth-centruy
American literature canon and has generated a rich body of new
critical work. This casebook collects the best of the new
scholarship as well as the most influencial older essays. Included
in this volume are letters by Harriet Beecher Stowe and articles by
James Baldwin, Leslie Fiedler, Jane Tompkins, Gillian Brown, Robert
Stepto, and Elizabeth Ammons.
