Through the publication of her bestseller Uncle Tom's Cabin,
Harriet Beecher Stowe became one of the most internationally famous
and important authors in nineteenth-century America. Today, her
reputation is more complex, and Uncle Tom's Cabin has been debated
and analysed in many different ways. This book provides a summary
of Stowe's life and her long career as a professional author, as
well as an overview of her writings in several different genres.
Synthesizing scholarship from a range of perspectives, the book
positions Stowe's work within the larger framework of
nineteenth-century culture and attitudes about race, slavery and
the role of women in society. Sarah Robbins also offers reading
suggestions for further study. This introduction provides students
of Stowe with a richly informed and accessible introduction to this
fascinating author.
