Synopsis

Harriet Beecher Stowe is the famous writer of Uncle Tom's cabin. Her book made her readers aware of the conditions in the South for slaves and helped the abolition cause. Stowe wrote in her journal "I wrote what I did because as a woman, as a mother I was oppressed and brokenhearted, with the sorrows and injustice I saw, because as a Christian I felt the dishonor to Christianity because as a lover of my country I trembled at the coming day of wrath." Lady Byron Vindicated was published in 1870. Ms Stowe has written a defense of Lady Byron for leaving her husband. This book stirred up controversy between the supporters of Lord Byron and the defenders of his wife. This conflict still exists in some literary circles.
