Stowe, H: Uncle Tom's Cabin - Harriet Beecher Stowe - Bog

Part of the Norton Library series
The Norton Library edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin features the text of the 1852 edition, including original woodcut illustrations. An introduction by Susan M. Ryan takes a lively and incisive look at the novel's historical and religious contexts, its political influence as well as its limits, and why Uncle Tom's Cabin-with all its controversies-endures as an American classic.
The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations-influential works of literature and philosophy-introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they'll re-read over a lifetime.
Inviting introductions highlight the work's significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence.
Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed.
An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition.
