ISBN: 1417929871 ISBN-13: 9781417929870 Publisher: Kessinger Publishing OUR PRICE: $22.75 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: June 2004 Annotation: 1852. Illustrated. Uncle Tom, Topsy, Sambo, Simon Legree, little Eva are characters in Harriet Beecher Stowe's remarkable novel of the pre-Civil War South. Uncle Tom's Cabin was revolutionary for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, a man of humanity, as the first black hero in American fiction. Labeled racist and condescending by some contemporary critics, it remains a shocking, controversial, and powerful work; exposing the attitudes of white nineteenth-century society toward the peculiar institution and documenting, in heartrending detail, the tragic breakup of black Kentucky families sold down the river.
