The profound influence of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel extends beyond American literature, significantly impacting the abolitionist movement, the Civil War, and global events like the end of serfdom in Russia. David S. Reynolds explores Stowe's intellectual upbringing and religious inspirations that shaped her work. The book, cherished by many—including some southerners—has sparked enduring debates about America's identity, while its legacy continues through various adaptations, reflecting and challenging racial stereotypes in American culture.
