Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). This is the novel that made Stowe famous. Stowe's book didn't start the Civil War, but it certainly helped change the course of American history. During her lifetime, the anti-slavery book sold three million copies and was translated into 37 languages. Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Minister's Wooing (1859). Though Uncle Tom's Cabin was certainly Stowe's best known book, it was not her only one. Stowe wrote roughly one book per year for 30 years straight. Her novel The Minister's Wooing was a satiric reflection on Calvinism, the uncompromising Christian theology preached by her father.
âThe Lord Himself wrote it,â she used to say afterwards. âI was but an instrument in His hand.â. The book made Mrs Stowe an international celebrity and a hated figure in the South. In 1853 she published A Key to Uncle Tomâs Cabin, a non-fiction riposte to critics who accused her of exaggerating slaveryâs cruelties. On a tour of Britain she made friends among the great and good, was cheered at anti-slavery meetings and collected ample donations for the cause.
