When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 it caused a sensation.
Its antislavery position proved to be one the most powerful
cultural influences behind the Civil War. By emphasizing the moral
failure inherent in slavery, it helped intensify the conflict
between north and south. By the end of the year it had sold over
300,000 copies in the U.S. and more than a million abroad. It went
on to be the nineteenth century's worldwide bestseller.
To capitalize on the book's success the publisher released a
lavishly illustrated gift version for the Christmas season. Widely
known as the "Splendid Edition," the deluxe offering included over
one hundred detailed engravings by Hammatt Billings, who had done
six pictures for the original printing. The artfully integrated
illustrations amplify the book's abolitionist ideas and capture its
historical moment, lending the narrative a moving immediacy.
Reissued for the first time, this facsimile edition gives general
readers the chance to experience Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic in
this most revealing form. It includes a substantial introduction by
Bancroft-winning historian David S. Reynolds that situates the
novel within the world of ideas and images operative at the time.
