Description
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is widely recognized for its pivotal role in polarizing attitudes regarding slavery in the months leading up to the Civil War in the United States. Stowe's well-informed narrative of antebellum life in the American South remains one of the most politically influential works in the American canon. Uncle Tom's Cabin not only explores the issue of slavery but the nature of class and race relationships in America. Praised for its abolitionist sentiment yet oft-criticized for its propagation of stereotypes, the text is a must-read for those seeking to understand America, yesterday and today.
