About the author
Harriet Beecher Stowe (Stowe, Harriet Beecher, 1811-1896) was an American author. The library holds 42 of her works; her best-known book is Uncle Tom's Cabin, which circulated widely in many foreign-language editions, including the German Onkel Tom's Hütte, the French La case de l'oncle Tom, the Dutch De Negerhut and the Danish Onkel Toms Hytte. Her other works include Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp, The Minister's Wooing and American Woman's Home: Or, Principles of Domestic Science, a study of domestic life and household science. Her writing often addresses social questions such as slavery, religion and family life, expressing moral concern through vivid characters and plots; it had a lasting influence on nineteenth-century American literature and the abolitionist movement. Public information on the details of her life is limited, so none are conjectured here.
