Uncle Tom's Cabin
Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1852
A bestseller that turned a national argument into faces, voices and kitchens—and still asks who pays for the comfort of others.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
1811–1896
Uncle Tom’s Cabin first appeared as a serial in the abolitionist National Era in 1851, before being published as a book in 1852.
Feels like society and grief.
A father's grief, put beside every other parent's, without apology.
Here he turned to the rough trundle bed full of little woolly heads, and broke fairly down. He leaned over the back of the chair, and covered his face with his large hands. Sobs, heavy, hoarse and loud, shook the chair, and great tears fell through his fingers on the floor; just such tears, sir, as you dropped into the coffin where lay your first-born son; such tears, woman, as you shed when you heard the cries of your dying babe. For, sir, he was a man,—and you are but another man. Books by Harriet Beecher Stowe
