About this audiobook
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," published in 1852, is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. The story follows the lives of several enslaved African Americans, primarily Uncle Tom, as they navigate the harsh realities of slavery in the United States. Stowe wrote the novel as a response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and intended to portray the immorality of slavery. The book had a profound impact on American public opinion and is often credited with helping to galvanize the abolitionist movement.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist. Born into the influential Beecher family, a mainstay of New England progressive political life, Stowe was raised in a devoutly Calvinist household. Educated in the Classics at the Hartford Female Seminary, Stowe moved to Cincinnati in 1832 to join her recently relocated family. There, she participated in literary and abolitionist societies while witnessing the prejudice and violence faced by the city’s African American population, many of whom had fled north as escaped slaves. Living in Brunswick, Maine with her husband and children, Stowe supported the Underground Railroad while criticizing the recently passed Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The following year, the first installment of Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published in The National Era, a prominent abolitionist newspaper. Published in book form in 1852, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was an immediate international success, serving as a crucial catalyst for the spread of abolitionist sentiment around the United States in the leadup to the Civil War. She spent the rest of her life between Florida and Connecticut working as a writer, editor, and activist for married women’s rights.
