Uncle Tom's Cabin
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe
Desc: The narrative drive of Stowe's classic novel is often overlooked in the heat of the controversies surrounding its anti-slavery sentiments. In fact it is a compelling adventure story with richly drawn characters and has earned a place in both literary and American history. Stowe's puritanical religious beliefs show up in the novel's final overarching theme—the exploration of the nature of Christianity and how Christian theology is fundamentally incompatible with slavery.
