Uncle Tom's Cabin: or Negro life in the slave states of America / Stowe, Harriet Beecher 1995  Book
Stowe, Harriet Beecher Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Wordsworth Editions, 1995.
Description xxxiv, 438pBlue Spine
Series Wordsworth Classics
Summary/Abstract Uncle Tom's Cabin is the most popular, influential and controversial book written by an American. Stowe's rich, panoramic novel passionately dramatises why the whole of America is implicated in and responsible for the sin of slavery, and resoundingly concludes that only 'repentance, justice and mercy' will prevent the onset of 'the wrath of Almighty God!'. The novel gave such a terrific impetus to the crusade for the abolition of slavery that President Lincoln half-jokingly greeted Stowe as 'the little lady' who started the great Civil War.
