Religious Poems

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was an American author and abolitionist from the famous Beecher family of preachers and reformers. Her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), depicting the cruelties of slavery, reached millions and galvanised anti-slavery feeling in America and Britain. She wrote more than thirty books in all; our library carries her Religious Poems, in which her deep evangelical faith speaks in verse.

About this book

A volume of religious verse by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1867. Best known for Uncle Tom's Cabin, Stowe here writes poems and hymn-like pieces on faith, suffering, death, and the hope of heaven, several born of her own bereavements. The collection shows the devotional depth beneath her public career and her lifelong engagement with the consolation of religion.
