Harriet Beecher Stowe (Gutenberg Index)

This is not a novel but a scholarly index to Harriet Beecher Stowe's complete works available on Project Gutenberg, compiled as a reader's guide to navigate her vast literary output. Stowe (1811-1896) was a foundational American voice whose 1852 abolitionist novel Uncle Tom's Cabin became a cultural earthquake, reportedly influencing Lincoln himself and selling over 300,000 copies in its first year alone. The index organizes her novels, essays, children's stories, and religious writings including The Pearl of Orr's Island, Oldtown Folks, and her collections of short fiction. For researchers, students, and devoted readers, this guide reveals the full scope of a writer who used fiction as a weapon for moral reform, embedding abolitionist argument within narratives so emotionally devastating they helped tip a nation toward civil war. Stowe wrote from deep conviction: that women's domestic sphere was not separate from public justice, and that literature could remake the world.
