Synopsis

Excerpt from Lady Byron Vindicated: A History of the Byron Controversy, From Its Beginning in 1816 to the Present Time

I have not thought it necessary to disturb my spirit and confuse my sense Of right by even an attempt at reading the many abusive articles that both here and in England have followed that disclosure. Friends have under taken the task for me, giving me from time to time the substance Of anything really worthy Of attention which came to. View in the tumult.

About this title

About the Author:

Harriet Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was raised in a deeply religious family and educated in a seminary school run by her elder sister. In her adult life, Stowe married biblical scholar and abolitionist Calvin Ellis Stowe, who would later go on to work as Harriet s literary agent, and the two participated in the Underground Railroad by providing temporary refuge for escaped slaves travelling to the American North. Shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Stowe published her most famous work, Uncle Tom s Cabin, a stark and sympathetic depiction of the desperate lives of African American slaves. The book went on to see unprecedented sales, and informed American and European attitudes towards abolition. In the years leading up to her death, suffering from dementia or Alzheimer s disease, Stowe is said to have begun re-writing Uncle Tom s Cabin, almost word-for-word, believing that she was writing the original manuscript once again. Stowe died in July 1, 1896 at the age of eighty-five.
