But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a
115、big success. The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress. But when the first 5, 000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 3
116、00, 000 copies in the United States and 150, 000 in England. For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible. Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained Americas most popular play for 80 years. It might appear
117、that Uncle Toms Cabin was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War daysparticularly defenders of the slavery systemcondemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品). Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery(When as

But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery. Though she was born in Connecticut, 183

120、ssor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book. Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians think that it helped bring on the American Civil War. In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White Ho
121、use during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war. ”【参考范文】The passage tells us how Harriet, a young woman, wrote her famous anti-slavery book Uncle Toms Cabin. Nobody knew whether it would sell well before its publication, but the book proved successful. Without doubt the book, which described the evils of slavery, produced a great influence on the anti-slavery movement and received great public attention.
