Whitewashing Uncle Tom's Cabin: Nineteenth-Century Women Novelists Respond to Stowe

Jordan-Lake (English, Belmont U.) adds an important new dimension to the growing scholarship on Uncle Tom's Cabin in her examination of white women's rebuttal to Stowe. Jordan-Lake's readings provide insights into antebellum American culture and proslavery ideology. She expands her discussion beyond the controversy of Stowe's work to consider 20th and 21st-century novels that recapitulate or revise plantation mythology.
