Critics Review
-
“One of the greatest productions of the human mind.”
Leo Tolstoy
-
“[Beecher Stowe has] baptized with holy fire myriads who before cared nothing for the bleeding slave.”
Frederick Douglass
-
“Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin…demonstrates that one can write something that changes the world and makes it a better place. She reinforces the concept that the root of evil is the abuse of power, and it is important for all of us to remember that. It’s why people bully. It’s why they rape, torture, and murder.”
Patricia Cornwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author
-
“Belongs to the very short list of American books that helped create or consolidate a reform movement.”
