简介

In tile nineteenth century Uncle Tom's, Cabirz sold more copies than any, book in the world except the Bible. It was quickly translated into thirty-seven languages and has never gone out of print. The book had far-reaching impact and deeply affected the national conscience of antebellum America. The Norton Critical Edition text is that of the 1852 book edition, published in two volumes by John P. Jewett and Company Boston; all original illustra-tions are included. Annotations are provided to assist the reader with ob-scure historical tcrms and biblical references. "Backgrounds and Contexts" includes a wealth of historical documentation dealing with the issues of slaveU and abolitionism. Among the documents are Josiah Henson's 1849 slave narrative (named by Stowe as one of her sources for the novel), Solomon Northup's eyewitness account of an 184] slave auction, Harriet Jacobs's narrative of'her life as a fifteen-year-old slave, two epistolary accounts by ex-slave and abolitionist William Wells Brown that document events in Uncle Tom's Cabin, two crucial excerpts from Stowc's Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin that provide the real-life basis for characters and events in the novel, and accounts of 'Ibm-Shows and the anti Uncle Tom literature that sprang up in response to the novel's publica-tion. Illustrative material includes slavc advertisements; runaway slave posters; illustrations for the first British edilion of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Britain's premier illustrator, George Cruikshank;as well as popular illustra- tions from American editions of the novel "Criticism" is arranged under two headings: "Nineteenth-Century Re-views and Reception" includes critiques by George Sand, William G. Allen and Ethiop (both from Frederick Douglass' PaFer), George F. Itolmes, and Paul Laurence Dunbar, among others. "Twentieth-Century Criticism" col- lects five of the best essays written on the novel in this century; they are by James Baldwin, Jane P. Tompkins, Bobert S. Levinc, Hortense I. Spillers, and Christina Zwarg. A Chronology of Stowe's life and work and a Selected Bibliography are also included.
