Additional Details

first and only edition. "It is one of the difficulties of literary criticism to do justice to a female writer," begins Dr. Waddell''s attack of Mrs. Stowe''s "Uncle Tom''s Cabin." The author accuses Stowe of romanticizing the facts about slavery. And while remaining a Southern gentleman, he does his level best to reduce her to a hysterical woman writer and no more. A very scarce pamphlet, OCLC locates only one copy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
