A Woman of Courage: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Harriet Beecher Stowe is best remembered for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin , which she wrote in 1851. In it, she illustrated the damaging effects of slavery on the individual as well as family life. Written as a reaction to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which made it illegal to assist an escaped slave, the book became almost an overnight success and a rallying cry for Northern abolitionists during pre-Civil war years. It tells the story of "Uncle Tom," a slave who is sold several times and finally dies at the hand of his master. Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in Litchfield, Connecticut in 1811. She was the daughter of a Congregational minister named Lyman Beecher. Her family encouraged her to pursue education and learn as much as she could. She and her older sister Catherine founded a women's seminary called the Western Female Institute. In 1836, Harriet married a seminary professor named Calvin Ellis Stowe. He taught at Harriet's father's seminary. Although Harriet and Calvin lived in the North, she did have opportunities to travel to the South and learned about the cruelties of slavery. She also met fugitive slaves who had escaped to the North. Her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin was originally published in an abolitionist newspaper called The National Era . It soon became so popular that it was published into 37 languages. It was also into Russia and became popular there. The novel took the nation by storm and aroused anger in the South. President Abraham Lincoln later remarked, upon meeting Stowe, "'So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." Stowe attributed the success of the novel not to her literary talents but to her faith in God. "I could not control the story, the Lord himself wrote it. 'I was but an instument in His hands and to Him should be given all the praise."

When about twelve, she went to Hartford, where her sister Catherine had opened a school. While there she was known as an absent-minded and moody young lady, odd in her manner and habits, but a fine scholar, excelling especially in the writing of compositions.

Illustration from original edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin Newspaper ad for the popular book Works Cited Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, far from the plantations of the South, Harriet Beecher Stowe nevertheless found the cause of the emancipation of the slaves an important one. When her father assumed the presidency of Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio, she followed her family. There she met her husband and remained an active member of her community. In Cincinnati, she came into contact with fugitive slaves. Like Frederick Douglas , she used her gift of storytelling and writing as a way of bringing about change to American society. She wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin with the encouragement of her sister-in-law who was deeply affected by the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law The following excerpt is taken from the last chapter of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which very much resembles a sermon. She urges white Northerners to welcome escaped slaves and treat them with respect: On the shores of our free states are emerging the poor, shattered, broken remnants of families,men and women, escaped, by miraculous providences, from the surges of slavery,feeble in knowledge, and, in many cases, infirm in moral constitution, from a system which confounds and confuses every principle of Christianity and morality. They come to seek a refuge among you; they come to seek education, knowledge, Christianity.

FRtR Outlines American Literature Democratic Origins and Revolutionary Writers, 1776-1820: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren The Romantic Period, 1820-1860: Fiction: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Index Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly was the most popular American book of the 19th century. First published serially in the National Era magazine (1851- 1852), it was an immediate success. Forty different publishers printed it in England alone, and it was quickly translated into 20 languages, receiving the praise of such authors as Georges Sand in France, Heinrich Heine in Germany, and Ivan Turgenev in Russia. Its passionate appeal for an end to slavery in the United States inflamed the debate that, within a decade, led to the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865). Reasons for the success of Uncle Tom's Cabin are obvious. It reflected the idea that slavery in the United States, the nation that purportedly embodied democracy and equality for all, was an injustice of colossal proportions. Stowe herself was a perfect representative of old New England Puritan stock. Her father, brother, and husband all were well- known, learned Protestant clergymen and reformers. Stowe conceived the idea of the novel in a vision of an old, ragged slave being beaten as she participated in a church service. Later, she said that the novel was inspired and "written by God." Her motive was the religious passion to reform life by making it more godly. The Romantic period had ushered in an era of feeling: The virtues of family and love reigned supreme. Stowe's novel attacked slavery precisely because it violated domestic values.

Bibliography Uncle Tom's Cabin Criticism Links ... Domestic Goddesses Home Domestic Goddess Harriet Beecher-Stowe is most famous for her controversial anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut, the seventh of nine children. Her father was the well-known Congregational minister Lyman Beecher and his wife was Roxana Foote Beecher. Roxana Beecher died when her daughter was five years old, causing Beecher to feel great empathy, she felt, for slave mothers and children who were separated under slavery. As Elizabeth Ammons points out in her preface to the Norton edition, if Beecher had been a man, she probably would have followed in her father's footsteps and become a minister. As it was, she was also wife and sister to preachers. She maintained that it was her Christian passion which compelled her to write her novel. The Stowes' family was not rich, and therefore, Harriet's life was sometimes conflicted between the necessities of motherhood and writing, or, between vocation and avocation. She eventually bore six children, with whom her writing competed. Stowe chose to write Uncle Tom's Cabin because her sister-in-law urged her to use her skills to aid the cause of abolition. The novel was incredibly popular and sold more copies than any book before it, with the exception only of the Christian Bible. "Today

Harriet Beecher Stowe E scritora y abolicionista estadounidense, autora de La cabaña del Tío Tom (1852), una severa denuncia de la esclavitud y una de las mejores novelas de la literatura estadounidense en su género. Nació el 14 de junio de 1811 en Litchfield, Connecticut, hija del clérigo liberal Lyman Beecher. Se casó con el reverendo Calvin Ellis Stowe, un ferviente luchador contra la esclavitud. Su primer libro, El Mayflower o apuntes de escenas y personajes entre los descendientes de los peregrinos, apareció en 1843. Mientras vivía en Brunswick (Maine), escribió La cabaña del Tío Tom . La novela se publicó por entregas en un periódico abolicionista, el National Era, y en 1852 se editó como libro. La historia por entregas no llamó especialmente la atención, pero el éxito del libro no tuvo precedentes. En sólo cinco años se vendieron 500.000 ejemplares en Estados Unidos y la novela se tradujo a más de veinte idiomas. Este libro contribuyó a la cristalización de los sentimientos militantes contra la esclavitud en el Norte y aceleró así el desencadenamiento de la Guerra Civil. La cabaña del Tío Tom , como la mayoría de las novelas de Stowe, posee una estructura irregular, pero está llena de sucesos dramáticos que atrapan poderosamente al lector. En 1853 publicó
