    Extractions: I no more thought of style or literary excellence than the mother who rushes into the street and cries for help to save her children from a burning house, thinks of the teachings of the rhetorician or the elocutionist. I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation. When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.

    Extractions: American author (1811-1896) Harriet Elisabeth Beecher was born in Lichtchfiled, Connecticut, the 14th June 1811. Even though being brought up in a puritan way her father was a congregationist minister like Jonathan Edwards and her six brothers ended up like him too she was neither prudish nor religious. However, protestantism played an important role in her life. In 1835 she got married to Clavin Stowe, minister and biblical literature teacher. In 1849, her sixth child dies from cholera, which leaves her in a grieving state. In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Law was passed by which everybody had to denounce any fugitive slave and hand him/her over to the authorities. This law inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to write a serial that appeared in The national Era in 1851: Uncle Tom's Cabin . This book arose controversies which had a determining influence on the Civil War. It has been translated into 32 languages and adapted into a play which was on stage until 1930. In 1856 she published its sequel: Dred, a tale of the Great Dismal Swamp

    Extractions: Photograph courtesy of the Ohio Historical Society. This house was once the residence of Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), the influential antislavery author who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin . In 1832, Harriet Beecher moved from Litchfield, Connecticut, to Cincinnati with her sister and father, a Congregationalist minister who accepted an offer to teach at the Lane Seminary. Harriet and her sister lived with their father in this house, which was provided by the Seminary, and soon after settling in established the Western Female Institute. In 1833, while teaching at the Western Female Institute, the two sisters published Geography for Children . The following year Harriet Beecher won a prize for "New England Sketch," published in the Western Monthly Magazine . Marrying Calvin Ellis Stowe, a fellow teacher at the Western Female Institute, in 1835, Harriet Beecher Stowe moved out of her father's house and into a nearby home in the Walnut Hills area. In the following years, however, Stowe would be a frequent visitor to this house where she and her family would meet with like-minded antislavery activists. Stowe witnessed the evils of slavery first-hand while touring the neighboring state of Kentucky and visited the home of abolitionist John Rankin in Ripley, Ohio. During her residency in Ohio, she interviewed several former slaves who had escaped to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Many of the characters in

    Extractions: NHL-NPS photograph Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), author, humanitarian, and abolitionist, lived in this house from 1850 to 1852 during which time she wrote her famous novel Uncle Tom's Cabin . Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, to a notable Congregational minister and his wife, Harriet Beecher Stowe moved to Cincinnati, Ohio , in 1832, where she taught at the Western Female Institute. While living in Cincinnati, she met numerous fugitive slaves and traveled to Kentucky where she experienced the brutality of slavery first-hand. It was also in Cincinnati that Harriet Beecher met her husband, Calvin Ellis Stowe, a teacher at the Western Female Institute. In 1850, Calvin Stowe accepted a teaching position at Bowdoin College and the couple moved to Brunswick. Harriet Beecher Stowe was encouraged to write by her husband and was a published author before moving to Maine. Based upon her experiences while visiting Kentucky and her interviews with fugitive slaves, Stowe started writing Uncle Tom's Cabin upon her arrival in Brunswick.

    Extractions: Introduction Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) is best known today as the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin , which helped galvanize the abolitionist cause and contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. Uncle Tom's Cabin sold over 10,000 copies in the first week and was a best seller of its day. After the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin , Stowe became an internationally acclaimed celebrity and an extremely popular author. In addition to novels, she wrote non-fiction books on a wide range of subjects including homemaking and the raising of children, and religion. She wrote in an informal conversational style, and presented herself as an average wife and mother. Harriet Beecher Stowe as a writer Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing career spanned 51 years, during which she published 30 books and countless shorter pieces. Harriet made time for writing in her life while she was busy raising seven children and managing a household. She was fortunate in having the support of her husband Calvin Stowe who always encouraged his wife in her career. This kind of support from a husband was unusual at the time when women were not expected to have a career outside the home.

    Extractions: The publication in book form (March 20, 1852) was a factor which must be reckoned in summing up the moving causes of the war for the Union. The book sprang into unexampled popularity, and was translated into at least twenty-three tongues. Mrs Stowe used the reputation thus won in promoting a moral and religious enmity to slavery. She reinforced her story with A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, in which she accumulated a large number of documents and testimonies against the great evil; and in 1853 she made a journey to Europe, devoting herself especially to creating an entente cordiale between Englishwomen and Americans on the question of the day. In 1856 she published a Tale of the Dismal Swamp , in which she threw the weight of her argument on the deterioration of a society resting on a slave basis. The establishment of The Atlantic Monthly in 1857 gave her a constant vehicle for her writings, as did also

    Extractions: Living in Cincinnati when her husband was a professor at the Lane Seminary, Harriet Beecher Stowe came in contact with slaves escaping northward and learned about their lives in the South. After passage of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850, she began writing the manuscript that became Uncle Tom's Cabin , which was serialized in the National Era before it was published as a book in 1852. Its success was immediate; the book sold more than three hundred thousand copies during its first year of publication. When the story of Uncle Tom was adapted as a play in 1853, this portrait was commissioned by Alexander H. Purdy, owner of the National Theatre in New York, for display at the theater where the play was produced. Stowe's modest appearance was surprising to many. When she and Abraham Lincoln met at the White House in 1862, during the Civil War, he is reported to have said, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!"

Click here to get it. Profile: Born June 14, 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut, Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the most popular American writers of the 19th century. Today she is best known for her anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin , which was printed in over 40 languages, but she also produced several other novels and numerous short stories. She often took inspiration from her experiences growing up in a large, devoutly religious family in Protestant New England. Stowe's father, Lyman Beecher, was a Congregational minister, known for his evangelical sermons and moral reforms; Roxana Foote Beecher, mother of Stowe's eight full siblings, was a well-read and educated woman in an age when few women were literate. She died when Stowe was four, leaving Catharine, her oldest daughter, to fill the maternal role for Stowe for the rest of her life. Born into an intelligent and ambitious family, Stowe received an unusually rich education for a girl. She read avidly in her father's study any material she could find: old sermons, theological texts, and a tattered old copy of Arabian Nights. She benefitted from the pioneering spirit of her sister Catharine, a believer in equal educational opportunities for women, who opened a school for girls in Hartford, Connecticut. Stowe studied and later taught at her sister's seminary, learning such subjects as math, history, geography, logic, moral philosophy, and Latin. Stowe's religious and moral education progressed as well, and at the age of thirteen, she confessed to her father that she had experienced conversion after one of his sermons. Religion was a powerful force throughout her life, a theme running through her writing, and the source for continuous self-investigation and dissatisfaction with the state of her soul.

Three hundred thousand copies were sold the first year, and about 2,000,000 copies were sold worldwide by 1857. For one three month period Stowe reportedly received $10,000 in royalties. Across the nation people discussed the novel and hotly debated the most pressing socio-political issue dramatized in its narrative, slavery.
