Uncle Tom's Cabin: An Introduction to Harriett Beecher Stowe's Classic Antislavery Novel

A highly regarded study of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe's epic nineteenth-century novel which helped educate the American public about the evils of slavery. Written by a leading scholar, this introduction links Stowe's ideas with modern philosophical and political resistance movements, including Marxism, liberation theology, existentialism, and cultural feminism. The author finds Stowe's treatment of the problem of evil still timely in the twenty-first century.
