The Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe

The Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe is a biographical account of the renowned American author and abolitionist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, written by her son, Charles Edward Stowe. The book chronicles the life and times of Harriet Beecher Stowe from her upbringing in a prominent family of New England intellectuals to her rise as a leading voice in the fight against slavery in the United States.The biography covers Stowe's early years as a teacher and writer, her marriage to Calvin Stowe, and her eventual move to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she became involved in the abolitionist movement. The book also delves into the inspiration behind Stowe's most famous work, Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was published in 1852 and became a bestseller in the United States and Europe.Throughout the book, Stowe's personal and political struggles are explored, including her battles with illness, financial difficulties, and the loss of several family members. The biography also sheds light on Stowe's relationships with other prominent figures of the time, including Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.Overall, The Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the life of one of America's most influential writers and activists, and the impact she had on the fight for freedom and equality in the United States.It is so far from being irrelevant for England to notice slavery that I already see indications that this subject, on both sides, is yet to be presented there, and the battle fought on English ground. I see that my friend the South Carolinian gentleman has sent to ""Fraser's Magazine"" an article, before published in this country, on ""Uncle Tom's Cabin."" The article in the London ""Times"" was eagerly reprinted in this country, was issued as a tract and sold by the hundred, headed, ""What they think of 'Uncle Tom' in England."" If I mistake not, a strong effort will be made to pervert the public mind of England, and to do away the impression which the book has left.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
