Autor

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American abolitionist and author, celebrated for her novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852), which is often credited with helping to fuel the abolitionist cause and precipitate the American Civil War. Stowe was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, and was the seventh of thirteen children. She received a traditional academic education at the Hartford Female Seminary, founded by her elder sister Catherine. Ever immersed in a family of preachers and reformers, Stowe developed a strong sense of moral purpose. In addition to her renowned anti-slavery novel, Stowe wrote over 30 books. Among these, 'Lady Byron Vindicated' (1870) stands out for its incursion into the scandal surrounding Lord Byron's marriage and separation from Anne Isabella Milbanke. This work reflects Stowe's preoccupation with female morality and her literary style characterized by a blend of emotional intensity and moral earnestness. While 'Lady Byron Vindicated' did not achieve the notoriety or impact of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', it showcases Stowe's commitment to social reform and her willingness to tackle controversial subjects. Stowe's writing is marked by her deeply religious background and a profound compassion for the oppressed, qualities that invigorated her narratives and secured her place in the American literary canon.
