de Harriet Beecher Stowe
Información de la editorial
Excerpt from Household Papers and Stories Cincinnati experiences which again are playfully recounted in letters published in her son's Life. The former, con tributed in 1850 to The National Era, was drawn pretty closely from the experiments Of Professor Stowe. It is noticeable that in this paper and in Our Second Girl, which was contributed to The Atlantic Monthly for J anu ary, 1868, the author poses as the masculine member Of the household, as if this assumption gave her some advan tage in the point of view. At any rate, she adopted the same role when she came more deliberately to survey a wide field in a series Of articles. The House and Home Papers were contributed first to The Atlantic Monthly, and afterward published in book form as the production of one Christopher Crowfield, though there was not the slightest attempt otherwise at disguising the authorship. The immediate occasion Of the papers was no doubt the removal Of the Stowes from Andover and their establishment in Hartford, an event which took place shortly before the papers began to appear in The Atlantic. The years which followed during the first Hartford residence saw also a marriage in the family and new problems of daily life constantly presenting them selves, SO that a similar series appeared in the same maga zine, purporting to be from the same householder, entitled The Chimney Corner. This series, indeed, entered rather more seriously into questions of social morality, and deep ened in feeling as it proceeded. The eleventh section is a warm appreciation Of the woman who figured SO largely in Mrs. Stowe's early life, and the last two papers rose, as the reader will see, to the height of national memories. Mrs. Fields has preserved for us, in her Days with Mrs. Stowe, a striking record Of the mingling Of the great and the near in this writer's mind. The period Of which she writes is that in which The Chimney Corner series was drawing to a close. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
