Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. MONUMENTAL: PROFOUNDLY INFLUENTIAL: NEW First Edition Library of America hardcover (Orig. 1982) Twelfth Printing (c.2002): EXCELLENT NEW LOA slipcase w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, NEW sand-tan Brillianta linen-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW sewn binding w/ tight signatures & brown-white-checked cloth banding at spine-caps, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed in 10-point Linotron Galliard on SUPERB Domtar Literary Opaque archival paper * 5.0" x 8.12", 0.93 kg, 1478 pp. * ABOUT THE BOOK: Described by Henry James as "much less a book than a state of vision," 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is probably the most influential work of fiction in American history. Stowe's moving Christian epic turned millions of Americans against slavery, bringing the "peculiar institution" immeasurably closer to its fiery destruction. In this LOA volume are the best and most enduring works of Harriet Beecher Stowe, "the little woman," as Abraham Lincoln said when he met her in 1861, "who wrote the book that made this great war." He was referring, w/ rueful exaggeration, to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852), which during its first year had sold over 300,000 copies. Contemporary readers can still appreciate the powerful effects of its melodramatic characterizations & its unapologetic sentimentality. They can also recognize in its treatment of racial violence some of the brooding imagination & realism that anticipates Faulkner's rendering of the same theme. Stowe was charged w/ exaggerating the evils of slavery, but her stay in Cincinnati, Ohio, where her father (the formidable Lyman Beecher, head of the Lane Theological Seminary) gave her a close look at the miseries of the slave communities across the Ohio River. People in her circle of friends were continually harboring slaves who escaped across the river from Kentucky on the way, they hoped, to Canada. Two other novels, along w/ 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', show the range & variety of her literary accomplishment. 'The Minister's Wooing' (1859) is set in Newport, Rhode Island, after the Revolution. It is a romance based in part on the life of Stowe's sister, and it traces to a happy ending the conflicts in a young woman between adherence to Calvinistic rigor & her expression of preference in the choice of a marital partner. The third novel, 'Oldtown Folks' (1869), confirms Stowe's genius for the realistic rendering of ordinary experience, her talent for social portraiture w/ a keen satiric edge, & her subtlety in exploring a wide group of themes, from child-rearing practices & religious controversy to romantic seduction & betrayal. But finally, it is the old town & a way of life that no longer exists that is the true subject of this elegiac novel. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.

First Edition
Hardcover first edition - First edition. Although none of her later novels even began to approach "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in popularity, this novel, which was partially based upon Stowe's husband's childhood memories and the residents of his native village of Natick, Massachusetts, is considered one of her best works. In the "preface" the supposed narrator of the story, Horace Holyoke, declares it his object to interpret to the world the New England life and character in its seminal period, desiring the reader to see the characteristic persons of those times and hear them talk, while he himself maintains the part of a sympathetic spectator. The language ranges from homespun dialect and sometimes broad humor to lovely and poignant sentences which sum up a life in a few words: "ours was a household clouded by suppressed regrets, as well as embarrassed by real wants." (p 12.) xvii, 608 pp. Good overall in embossed terra cotta cloth - some general wear and fraying to the edges, hinges starting, previous owner's name, but still a sturdy and very readable copy.
