Now Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Toms Cabin, a book that details the harshness of plantation life in the south. The book was extremely popular
2、in the United States as well as in other countries. Ironically though, for the attention given to Uncle Toms Cabin, it is far from Stowes best work. She did write one other novel about life in the south. But much of her best work has nothing to do with the south at all. In fact, Stowes best writing
3、is about village life in the New England states in the 19th century. In recording the customs of the villages she wrote about, Stowe claimed that her purpose was to reflect the images as realistically as possible. She usually succeeded, for her settings were often described actually and in detail. I
4、n this sense, she was an important forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. She was one of the first writers to use local dialect for her characters when they spoke. And she did this for thirty years before Mark Twain popularized the use of local dialect. I
5、t makes sense that Stowe would write about New England life, since she was born in Connecticut. As a young woman there, she worked as a teacher. The teaching job helped lead to her first published work, a geography book for children. Later, when she was married, her writing helped to support her fam
6、ily financially. Throughout her life, she wrote poems, travel books, biographical sketches and childrens books as well as novels for adults. 生词摘录：1. survey: n. 调查，审视2.

8、著名的作品汤姆叔叔的小屋(Uncle Toms Cabin) 成为美国南北战争的导火线之一。她的一生以写作为生，发表了多部作品。斯托夫人的父亲比彻 (Beecher) 是著名的公理会牧师和废奴主义者，共有8个孩子。她四岁丧母，由长姊教育，在哈特福德长大，后来随父移居俄亥俄州辛辛那提，一个废奴情绪强烈的州。成为教师的她，积极参加文学界和教育界的活动。1836年和牧师兼神学院教授斯托 (Stowe) 结婚，丈夫鼓励她继续写作，但丈夫体弱多病，因此生活贫寒；他们共生有7个孩子，但大都早夭。辛辛那提和蓄奴州肯塔基州只有一河之隔，他们在那里生活了18年，经常接触逃亡奴隶。她自己也到过南方，亲眼目到黑奴的
9、悲惨生活。他们的家后来成为帮助南方奴隶逃亡的中转站之一。1850年，由于丈夫工作变迁，他们搬到缅因州，她从1851年到1852年为华盛顿特区的报纸民族时代撰写连载小说汤姆叔叔的小屋，卑贱者的生活，揭露南方黑奴受到非人的待遇，因此受到南方奴隶主的痛恨，卻在北方受到热烈的欢迎成本印刷出书时，首天就卖出三千本，第一年卖出30万册，翻译成超过40种文字，后来改编成剧本，每次上演场场爆满，大大促进了北方的废奴情绪。1853年她发表了汤姆叔叔的小屋题解，列举了大量文件和证据证实汤姆叔叔的小屋(Uncle Toms Cabin) 中的描写是真实的。同年她去欧洲旅行，在英国受到热烈赞扬。1856年她发表德雷德，阴沉地大沼泽地的故事，进一步揭露蓄奴制的社会堕落现象。1859年她发表小说牧师的求婚。1869年，老镇居民都是描写她熟悉的新英格兰生活。1869年，她经过对历史资料的研究，发表了拜伦生活真相，揭露拜伦和他妹妹有过乱伦的恋爱关系。因為诗人拜伦是英国人心中的偶像，这篇文章在英国引起大哗，英国人开始攻击她。1896年，她在哈特福德去世，终年85岁。
