Here are some of the remarkable features of &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I: New introductions commissioned from todays top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the readers viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics &&L/Ipulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each readers understanding of these enduring works. Nearly every young author dreams of writing a book that will literally change the world. A few have succeeded, and &&LBHarriet Beecher Stowe&&L/B is such a marvel. Although the American anti-slavery movement had existed at least as long as the nation itself, Stowe's &&LIUncle Tom's Cabin&&L/I (1852) galvanized public opinion as nothing had before. The book sold 10,000 copies in its first week and 300,000 in its first year. Its vivid dramatization of slavery's cruelties so aroused readers that it is said Abraham Lincoln told Stowe her work had been a catalyst for the Civil War. &&LPToday the novel is often labeled condescending, but its characters--Tom, Topsy, Little Eva, Eliza, and the evil Simon Legree--still have the power to move our hearts. Though "Uncle Tom" has become a synonym for a fawning black yes-man, Stowe's Tom is actually American literature's first black hero, a man who suffers for refusing to obey his white oppressors. &&LIUncle Tom's Cabin&&L/I is a living, relevant story, passionate in its vivid depiction of the cruelest forms of injustice and inhumanity--and the courage it takes to fight against them. &&L/P&&LP&&LBAmanda Claybaugh&&L/B is Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.&&L/P, &&LIUncle Tom''s Cabin&&L/I, by &&LBHarriet Beecher Stowe&&L/B, is part of the &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I&&LI &&L/Iseries, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras.
