Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe

â€œSo this is the little lady who made this big war,â€ marvelled Abraham Lincoln when he first met Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Noel Gerson explores the life of this fascinating woman who literally changed the course of American history with her book Uncle Tomâ€™s Cabin.

Harriet Beecher Stowe reveals a towering literary figure who was also a remarkable woman, a crusading feminist, and a woman who led a life more dramatic than anything she wrote.

In an age when women were usually confined to the kitchen, the bedroom, and the parlour, Harriet Beecher Stowe argued emancipation with President Lincoln, had an extraordinary woman-to-woman relationship with Queen Victoria, and was regarded by Emile Zola as a comrade-in-arms in their separate crusades for a better world.

Her super-abundant energy and refreshing humour enabled her to combine the duties of a devoted wife and mother of five with a renowned literary career and to become in the process one of the greatest celebrities of the nineteenth century.

â€˜Harriet Beecher Stoweâ€™ is an impressive biography of a literary giant who changed the course of history forever.

Noel Bertram Gerson (1913-1988) was a prolific American author, who wrote 325 books under his own name and under several pseudonyms. He channeled his own wartime experience in military intelligence into many of his novels, as well as writing widely about American history. His titles include â€˜Linerâ€™, â€˜Daughter of Earth and Water: A Biography of Mary Shelleyâ€™, â€˜The Conquerorâ€™s Wifeâ€™ and â€˜Iâ€™ll Storm Hell: A Novel of Mad Anthony Wayneâ€™.
