Read & Co. Classics presents this brand new edition of the seminal anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin", written by noted American abolitionist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, in 1852. Stowe¿s novel revolves around the suffering and enslavement of its central character Uncle Tom, a black slave. The work depicts the shameful and harrowing experience of slavery from a Christian perspective, ultimately upholding the values of the religion as a means of overcoming the loss of humanity in the process. Stowe and her writing proved instrumental in energising support for the abolition of slavery during the 1850s, and Abraham Lincoln is reported to have given recognition to her involvement in the cause. The work has since been criticised for fuelling and perpetuating racial stereotypes and misconceptions, however it remains one of the most provocative and bold statements on the matter of abolition in the history of American literature.
Autorenporträt
Harriet Beecher Stowe (June 14, 1811-July 1, 1896) was born in the United States. She was an American writer and abolitionist. She came from the Beecher family, a religious family, and became famous for her novel, Uncle Tom's Lodge (1852), which portrays the brutal conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions of readers as a novel as well as for play and became so influential in the US and in Great Britain that it empowered anti-slavery forces in the American North while provoking extensive aggression in the South. Stowe published 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of letters and articles. She was prominent in both her compositions and in her public stances, and also in debates on social issues.
