Mrs. Stowe's Vengeance
By Ellen Moers
The Novels of Harriet Beecher Stowe
by Alice C. Crozier
Oxford, 235 pp., $6.50
Why bother with Harriet Beecher Stowe? Because she is immensely readable, and because her subject was slavery. The former cause probably does more than the latter to explain Mrs. Stowe's excellent 'press.' Since her death in 1896 many fine studies of her life and work have steadily appeared; there has never been a real need, though there have often been claims, to stimulate a revival of scholarly interest in her extraordinary career.
