Henry Louis Gates Jr. redefines Uncle Tom's Cabin with this seminal interpretation of the great American novel. Declared worthless and dehumanising by James Baldwin in 1949, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has lacked literary credibility for over fifty years. Now, in a ringing refutation of Baldwin, Gates demonstrates the literary transcendence of Harriet Beecher Stowe's masterpiece. First published in 1852, it galvanised the American public as no other work of fiction has ever done. The editors animate pre-American Civil War life with rich insights into the lives of slaves, abolitionists and the American reading public. Examining the lingering effects of the novel, they provide new insights into emerging race-relation, women's, gay and gender issues. With reproductions of rare prints, posters and photographs, this book is also one of the most thorough anthologies of Uncle Tom images available.
