Harriet Beecher Stowe: 1811-1896 See also: Bibliography Harriet Beecher was born June 14, 1811, the seventh child of a famous protestant preacher. Harriet worked as a teacher with her older sister Catharine: her earliest publication was a geography for children, issued under her sister's name in 1833. In 1836, Harriet married widower Calvin Stowe: they eventually had seven children. Stowe helped to support her family financially by writing for local and religious periodicals. During her life, she wrote poems, travel books, biographical sketches, and children's books, as well as adult novels. She met and corresponded with people as varied as Lady Byron, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and George Eliot. She died at the age of 85, in Hartford Conneticutt. While she wrote at least ten adult novels, Harriet Beecher Stowe is predominantly known for her first, Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). Begun as a serial for the Washington anti-slavery weekly, the National Era , it focused public interest on the issue of slavery, and was deeply controversial. In writing the book, Stowe drew on her personal experience: she was familiar with slavery, the antislavery movement, and the underground railroad because Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnatti, Ohio, where Stowe had lived, was a slave state. Following publication of the book, she became a celebrity, speaking against slavery both in America and Europe. She wrote A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin (1853) extensively documenting the realities on which the book was based, to refute critics who tried to argue that it was inauthentic; and published a second anti-slavery novel

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Stowe is best remembered for the melodramatic and sentimental "Uncle Tom's Cabin", an antislavery novel written in 1851. This work, which made Stowe famous virtually overnight, intensified North and South antagonism in the pre-Civil War era, making her a hated figure in the South and the darling of the English abolitionists. However, the modern impression of her most famous characterssuch as Uncle Tom, Topsy, Little Eva, and Simon Legree brought to mind by "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are less the products of her work than of the 1852 play by George L. Aiken.

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.

Sunshine for Women WHM 2001, ToC Home Harriet Beecher Stowe American Slavery and Abolitionism In the 18th and early 19th centuries, there were a few voices calling for the end of slavery, but the call for the compulsory abolition of slavery fell on fertile ground only with the religious revival's moral urgency to end sinful practices in the North of the 1820s. The abolitionist movement reached the crusading stage in the 1830 under the leadership of Theodore Dwight Weld, "the most mobbed man" in America, the brothers Arthur and Lewis Tappan, and William Lloyd Garrison. At first, abolitionists, widely regarded as a lunatic fringe, caused riots and mob violence wherever they went. After all, in the common mind, slavery was an interest, "concentrated, persistent, practical, and testily defensive," while antislavery was a mere sentiment, "diffuse, sporadic, moralistic and tentative." Spurred by the Christian evangelical fervor of the era, abolitionism began to coalesce from a set of privately held beliefs into a political movement that generated a growing stream of books, pamphlets and petitions Although divided over the means of obtaining their goal, the abolitionists founded The American Anti-Slavery Society (1833), flooded the slave and free states with abolitionist literature, and lobbied in Washington DC for the end of slavery. Writers like John Greenleaf Whittier and speakers such as Wendell Phillips further spread the abolitionist message. As time progressed, anti-slavery societies were founded in every state, then every major city, then in many localities in the North.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) Contributing Editor: Jane Tompkins Classroom Issues and Strategies The primary problems you are likely to encounter in teaching Stowe are (1) the assumption that she is not a first-rate author because she has only recently been recognized and has traditionally been classed as a "sentimental" author, whose works are of historical interest only; (2) by current standards, Stowe's portrayal of black people in Uncle Tom's Cabin is racist; and (3) a lack of understanding of the cultural context within which Stowe was working. In dealing with the first problem, you need to discuss the way masterpieces have been selected and evaluated. Talk about the socioeconomic and gender categories that most literary critics, professors, and publishers have belonged to in this country until recently, explaining how class and gender bias have led to the selection of works by white male authors. The second problem calls for an explanation of cultural assumptions about race, which would emphasize the wayhistorically scientific beliefs about race have changed in this country between the seventeenth century and our day. For her time, Stowe was fairly enlightened, although her writing perpetuates stereotypes that have since been completely discredited. The third problem requires that the instructor fill the class in on the main tenets of evangelical Protestantism and the cult of domesticity, which were central to Stowe's outlook on life and to her work. Beliefs about the purpose of human life (salvation), the true nature of reality (i.e., that it is spiritual), the true nature of power (that it ultimately resides in Christian love), and in the power of sanctity, prayer, good deeds, and Christian nurture would be crucial here.

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

Stowe, Harriet Beecher Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), writer and reformer Born on June 14, 1811, in Litchfield, Connecticut, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher was a member of one of the 19th century's most remarkable families. The daughter of the prominent Congregationalist minister Lyman Beecher and the sister of Catharine , Henry Ward, and Edward, she grew up in an atmosphere of learning and moral earnestness. She attended her sister Catharine's school in Hartford (1824-27), teaching thereafter at the school. In 1832 she accompanied Catharine and their father to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he became president of Lane Theological Seminary and she taught at another school founded by her sister. In Cincinnati she took an active part in the literary and school life, contributing stories and sketches to local journals and compiling a school geography, until the school closed in 1836. That same year she married Calvin Ellis Stowe, a clergyman and seminary professor, who encouraged her literary activity and was himself an eminent biblical scholar. She wrote continually and in 1843 published The Mayflower; or, Sketches of Scenes and Characters Among the Descendants of the Pilgrims

Home Page Source: Library of Congress A Brief Assessment "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that created this great war." - Abraham Lincoln, 1862 (on meeting HBS) Contributing Editor Jane Tompkins ( Heath Anthology ) has identified three concerns regarding the teaching of Stowe: "(1) the assumption that she is not a first-rate author because she has only recently been recognized and has traditionally been classed as a 'sentimental' author, whose works are of historical interest only; (2) by current standards, Stowe's portrayal of Black people in Uncle Tom's Cabin is racist; and (3) a lack of understanding of the cultural context within which Stowe was working." Ms. Tomkins suggests that we teachers handle the first issue by discussing "how class and gender bias led to the selection of works by white male authors." For the second, we need to explain how assumptions about race have changed over the centuries; though well-meaning, Stowe uses stereotypes. As for the third concern, Ms. Tomkins suggests that we inform the students about the nineteenth century expectations of the purpose of life in the context of the legacy of puritanism. Other pertinent issues are the abolitionist and the women's suffrage movements. Although Stowe's views of Blacks are dated, attention should be given to Stowe's works. She was the most popular American writer of her time and her use of literay realism anticipates the writings of Howells, Twain, and Crane.

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
