Two years after the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin brought Harriet Beecher Stowe widespread acclaim, Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands was published in two volumes in 1854.

Beecher."The work is an admirable one; conceived in a wholesome spirit, written with a genial pen, and literally overflowing with brilliant flashes of poetry and humor.""One of the principle charms of Mrs. Stowe's book is that it is genuine throughout-written in the first impulse of the moment, and for a circle of private friends, not for a censorious public."'With her genius, humanizing instincts, and sound common sense, she is to America what Dickens is to England, and will, we doubt not, be equally industrious, philanthropic and sincere in all she does."-from The New York Times, August 1, 1854

Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin,wrote this 1869 novel with the intent of describing aNew England village's life and character in the yearsafter the Revolutionary War, before the advent ofindustrialization. Said Stowe, in the voice of the novel'snarrator Horace Holyoke, "I would endeavor to showyou New England in its seed-bed, before the hot sunsof modern progress had developed its sprouting germsinto the great trees of today." She based some of thebook on the childhood memories of her husband,Calvin Ellis Stowe, and the residents of his birthplace,Natick, Massachusetts.

Harriet Beecher Stowe reveals the many sources that inspired and motivated her writing the renowned anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin.A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in response to criticism and disparaging remarks from pro-slavery figures in newspapers of the time. Doubt was cast upon Stowe's narrative, particularly chapters depicting brutal physical abuse of slaves. Yet Stowe's researches into her subject were abundant - included in this book are newspaper reports, court records and testimonies, interviews with slaves, auction advertisements, and accounts of plantation runaways to name but a part. All reinforce the tragic accuracy of slavery as depicted in Uncle Tom's Cabin.Stowe also demonstrates keen historical insights, striking comparisons between enslavement in the United States and in ancient cultures such as the Roman Empire. She also criticizes certain denominations of the Christian church, which she demonstrates to have shifted their opinion - in decades prior, said churches had opposed slavery on moral grounds, only to switch to supporting it by the 1850s. For Stowe, who placed Christian morality at the heart of her novel's message, such concessions to the horrors of slavery were reprehensible.A lengthy, convincing and thorough rebuttal to those who claimed Uncle Tom's Cabin to be fanciful or exaggerated, this book doubles as an insightful and sobering collection of research into 19th century slavery.
