Individual letters and fragments of letters composed by author Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe (1811-96) between 1827 and 1893 are incorporated here into a continuous biographical narrative of Stowe's life. Though the materials assembled inadequately represent Stowe's correspondence, they do give a sense of her views on religion, marriage, child rearing, slavery, and writing.
