    Extractions: A cook she certainly was, in the very bone and centre of her soul. Not a chicken or turkey or duck in the barn-yard but looked grave when they saw her approaching, and seemed evidently to be reflecting on their latter end; and certain it was that she was always meditating on trussing, stuffing and roasting, to a degree that was calculated to inspire terror in any reflecting fowl living. Her corn-cake, in all its varieties of hoe-cake, dodgers, muffins, and other species too numerous to mention, was a sublime mystery to all less practised compounders; and she would shake her fat sides with honest pride and merriment, as she would narrate the fruitless efforts that one and another of her compeers had made to attain to her elevation. Just at present, however, Aunt Chloe is looking into the bake-pan; in which congenial operation we shall leave her till we finish our picture of the cottage.

    Extractions: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 - 1896) Stowe's landmark novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, has often been cited as one of the causes of the Civil War. She became outraged by written accounts of the injustice and cruelty of the slave system and traveled to the South to investigate it herself. The material she gathered became the source for Uncle Tom's Cabin; or Life Among the Lowly. The book, which was first published in 1831 in serial form in an abolitionist newspaper, became an immediate sensation, soon gaining worldwide popularity. Stowe was also an ardent supporter of women's rights, and she collaborated with her sister, Catherine Beecher, on nineteen domestic-science books.

    So when Eliza died young, harriet and Calvin were drawn together by a shared loss, and in 1836 harriet became harriet beecher stowe.

    Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1206. Today, a woman turns slavery from theoretical wrong into personal evil. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. H arriet Beecher was her mother's 7th child. After the 9th, her mother died. Harriet was raised by her father , a Calvinist preacher in Connecticut who held forth on Hell and damnation, but denied the doctrine of predestination. When she was 22 they moved out to Cincinnati where he was to be President of a new seminary. Her father had only one faculty member, a bright, pudgy, and ineffectual fellow named Calvin Stowe. For a while, Calvin's wife Eliza befriended Harriet Beecher. So when Eliza died young, Harriet and Calvin were drawn together by a shared loss, and in 1836 Harriet became Harriet Beecher Stowe . Their first children were twin girls whom they chose to name Harriet and Eliza. Calvin was a piece of work. In a crisis, he simply went to bed. He had regular visions of ghosts. Still, an odd chemistry bound these two somewhat strange, and very plain, people. Maybe they were just easy on each other. When Harriet had had-it-up-to-here with bearing children and primitive life in early Cincinnati, she'd go East to take the water cure, leaving Calvin with the kids.

    Extractions: N.B. For purposes of citation, page numbers of the printed version are inserted in square brackets. I Confronting her New England religious heritage with more personal credulity than Hawthorne ever did his, the seventh child of Lyman and Roxana Beecher found herself engaged in a lifelong struggle to assimilateand to remakeher ancestral Calvinism. The fruit of this engagement is evident in the subject matter of later novels such as The Minister's Wooing Oldtown Folks , and Pogunuc People , as well as in the apocalyptic urgency and evangelical fervor of Uncle Tom's Cabin . Deficient in several crafts of the belletristic novelist, Stowe yet knew how to infuse her writing with the powerful rhetoric of conversion preaching. In fact, her best fiction often shows a temper closer to symbolic romance than to novelistic realism, with the author drawing on mythic and personal energies to sustain her heightened rhetoric. Thus, episodes in Uncle Tom's Cabin such as Eliza's perilous crossing of the Ohio River or the deaths of Eva and Tom amount to rituals of passage laden with mythological import.

    Extractions: Harriet Beecher Stowe 1811 - 1896. During the time she lived in Maine, Harriet Beecher Stowe became one of the most important figures during the Civil War period by penning perhaps the most influential novel of its time. While living in Brunswick, Maine, Stowe was inspired to write Uncle Tom's Cabin , a story that was sympathetic towards the plight of slaves in the United States. Highly controversial, this novel stirred up emotions on both sides of the slavery issue and was often used as a symbol to rally the abolitionist movement.

    Extractions: AUTHOR BORN: DIED: FIELD: WRITERS AND JOURNALISTS, REFORMERS FROM: HARTFORD For More Information, Please Visit: The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center Harriet Beecher Stowe The most famous of the Beecher daughters, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), one of the most popular novels in American history; Harriet was called by Abraham Lincoln "the little lady whose book started the Civil War." Harriet was one of eleven siblings born to Lyman Beecher, a prominent Congregational minister from Litchfield. Their father's intellect and dynamic religious energy had an effect on all of his children and many of them, including Harriet, her sister Catherine and half sister Isabella, proved in their adult years that his influence and intelligence had been passed on to the next generation. As a young woman, Harriet was both a student and an employee the Hartford Female Seminary, started by her sister Catherine Beecher . The Seminary's emphasis on a full education meant school work on par with that of a male education institution. Students of the Female Seminary were schooled in courses such as Latin and hours of time were dedicated to writing essays. When Harriet's father and sister moved the family to Cincinnati, Harriet joined them. It was here that Harriet met her husband, Calvin Stowe; six of their seven children were both in Cincinnati. It was also here that Harriet saw first hand the issue of abolition and the inspiration for Uncle Tom's Cabin was born. While living in Cincinnati, located just across the river from Kentucky, a slave state, Harriet became acquainted with abolitionists and runaway slaves, helping several to escape through the underground railway. The passage of the Fugitive Slave Law horrified her and ultimately led her to detail slavery's atrocities in A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin and Dred, a novel based on Nat Turner's rebellion. Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published in an abolitionist newspaper, The National Era, in 1851 while Harriet was living in Brunswick, Maine.

72. Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin
    Summary of Uncle Tom s Cabin by harriet beecher stowe. This novel opens on the Shelby plantation somewhere in Kentucky before the Civil War.  
    http://bradley.bradley.edu/~dlb/dlstowe.html
    
    Extractions: This novel opens on the Shelby plantation somewhere in Kentucky before the Civil War. The Shelby's own numerous slaves all of whom they treat as though they are family. Unfortunately, at the opening of the book it is understood that Mr. Shelby has gotten into some financial difficulties, and the only way out of debt is to sell some of his slaves. He is left no other choice but to sell his most faithful and hardest working slave, Tom, and a little boy named Harry. Mr. Haley, a slave trader comes to the Shelby plantation one afternoon to finalize the deal, but the transaction is overheard by Eliza, Harry's mother. She goes into a panic and swears that she will not allow them to take her child, so she tries to persuade Tom to run away with her and Harry. Tom refuses because, being the loyal man that he is, he knows that Mr. Shelby is only doing what he has to do. This does not discourage Eliza from doing what she has to do, running away. Due to the separation of these two parties, Stowe spends the remainder of the novel updating their progress in designated chapters.

    Extractions: and Uncle Tom's Cabin The check which Mrs. Stowe received in June, 1851, came from the editor of a newspaper published in the city of Washington, and tradition reports it to have been of the value of one hundred dollars. The letter in which it was enclosed asked her to write as much of a story as she could afford for the money. The reader is probably aware that, thirty-one years ago, a hundred dollars accompanying such a request was about equivalent to a thousand at the present time. It was really a respectable sum of money. We have heard that it looked very large indeed to the modest lady who then received it. She was the wife of a Professor of Divinity in Bowdoin College, and she was living at Brunswick the seat of that institution, a village about thirty miles to the northeast of Portland in Maine. Even now Maine is a land of careful economy; but at that time the salaries of learned professors ranged from six hundred dollars a year to fifteen hundred; and few indeed were the lucky men who received the larger sum. This mother added something to the family income by teaching daily a class of eight young ladies. Besides this, she did with her own hands all the work of the household, except the roughest part, which was performed, after a fashion, by a girl fresh from Ireland who could not speak the English language. And here was a hundred dollar check in the house! It was bewildering. Editors in Washington do not send checks to remote villages in Maine except for cause. What had Mrs. Stowe done that the editor of the National Era, a paper of limited circulation, should distinguish her thus?

    Extractions: REFERENCE LINKS PRINT EMAIL Stowe, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Beecher (1811-1896), is remembered chiefly for her antislavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851-1852). But when most people think of the book's famous characters, Uncle Tom, Little Eva, Topsy, and Simon Legree, they are not remembering the book. They are thinking instead of George L. Aiken's play of 1852, or of crude and violent spectacles called "Tom Shows," which played in small towns in the North. Aiken's play and the Tom Shows only faintly suggest Stowe's book. Uncle Tom's Cabin is melodramatic and sentimental, but it is more than a melodrama. It re-creates characters, scenes, and incidents with humor and realism. It analyzes the issue of slavery in the Midwest, New England, and the South during the days of the Fugitive Slave Law. The book intensified the disagreement between the North and the South which led to the Civil War. Stowe's name became hated in the South.
