Rare Book Cafe co-hosts Ed Markiewicz and Lee Linn engage in a discussion about the importance of the work of abolitionist writer Harriet Beecher Stowe as Ed visits her home in Hartford, Connecticut.
Stowe is best remembered for her bestseller Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1851-1852), though she was quite a prolific writer who produced 30 books in her lifetime. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was not only a bestseller, it was highly influential in turning readers away from support of enslaving African Americans and others but also energizing anti-slavery movements in both the United States and Great Britain.
