A highly regarded study of Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic novel, revised and updated through 2001 for this new edition. Written by a leading scholar, the book is unique among studies of Stowe's novel in its emphasis on the links between Stowe's ideas and Marxism, liberation theology, and twentieth-century political resistance movements. The book also includes a new preface by the author and a section in which she responds to the canon wars of the 1990s, arguing that Stowe’s work is a masterpiece that merits canonical status.
“Stowe’s text is plausibly linked to such divergent theorists as Jonathan Edwards, Karl Marx, Martin Buber, Gandhi, and Mikhail Bakhtin. There is a good section on the novel's critical reception - including the ongoing debate about the book’s racism - from its earliest reviews to modern academic responses. In the longer second part, Donovan gives a useful reading. . . . Many lines intersect in this analysis, from Stowe's cultural feminism, to her Marx-like economic critique, to her Quaker and Calvinist worldview. Both teachers and students will be pleased.” - Choice
