Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

One of the most important activist texts in American Literature is now available in a thoroughly updated and revised Norton Critical Edition.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut, where her father, Lyman Beecher, was an up-and-coming Presbyterian minister. She attended Hartford Female Seminary, which was founded by her older sister Catharine, a leader in the women’s education movement. Among her other notable siblings were Henry Ward Beecher, an influential clergyman and social reformer, and the suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker. In 1836 she married the biblical scholar Calvin Stowe, with whom she had seven children. Stowe is best known for her 1852 antislavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, or, Life Among the Lowly, which became an international bestseller. She went on to write more than thirty books of fiction and nonfiction, as well as stories, essays, and poems. Stowe died in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1896. Elizabeth Ammons is the Harriet H. Fay Professor of Literature at Tufts University. She is the author of Conflicting Stories: American Women Writers at the Turn into the Twentieth Century, Edith Wharton’s Argument with America, and Brave New Worlds: How Literature Will Save the Planet. She is the editor or co-editor of many books, including Tricksterism in Turn-of-the-Century American Literature: A Multi-Cultural Perspective, Uncle Tom’s Cabin: A Casebook, American Color Writing, 1880-1920, Short Fiction by Black Women, 1900–1920, and the Norton Critical Edition of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth.
