Copyright date 1891, First edition, first printing Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe (June 14, 1811 Litchfield, CT- July 1, 1896 Hartford, CT) was an American abolitionist and author. She came from the Beecher family, a famous religious family, and is best known for her nove…l Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential for both her writings and her public stances on social issues of the day. 530 pages with several portraits and illustrations plus index. Light edge wear to boards and spine cover, previous owner's name inside, play in front hinge, page outer edges tanned, edge tears in a few pages. No Dust Jacket.
