1865. House and Home Papers, first published under the name
Christopher Crowfield, is considered to be Stowe's most successful
wartime series. In the first number, Ravages of a Carpet she tells
of the seemingly innocent introduction of a new carpet into the
modest home of the narrator Christopher Crowfield. The creation of
vast amounts of consumer goods led to their immediate consumption
by a growing Northern middle class. Mrs. Stowe made this subtle
point by noting the new carpet and other newly purchased goods
filling the parlor sat shut up like a mausoleum while the family
and friends gathered in the old, worn-and clearly more
comfortable-library of Mr. Crowfield. Contents: The Ravages of a
Carpet; Home-Keeping vs. House-Keeping; What is a Home?; The
Economy of the Beautiful; Raking Up the Fire; The Lady Who Does Her
Own Work; What Can be Got in America; Economy; Servants; Cookery;
Our House; and Home Religion. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
