1852 Uncle Toms Cabin 1st ed Harriet Beecher Stowe CIVIL WAR Slavery Abolition
“Uncle Toms Cabin,” authored by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is a transformative 19th-century novel that challenged the institution of slavery in America. The story showcases the dire conditions and brutal realities faced by African American slaves and is said to have significantly contributed to the initiation of the American Civil War. Stowe uses compelling characters to portray the dehumanizing effects of slavery. As an abolitionist, Stowe used this novel, enhanced by evocative illustrations, not only as a story but as an emphatic plea for change, delivering a profound commentary on the social and moral injustices of her time. As a result, her work has left a lasting impact on readers and continues to resonate in modern times.
This early London edition was published for the Bohn Library with illustrations by Leech and introduction by Rev. James Sherman.
