Religious Poems

"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone"

Poems such as "The Other World" "Mary at the Cross" and "The Secret" are spread across the pages of this collection by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom’s Cabin".

Religious and spiritual, the poems reflect on how to live a godly life, discuss the afterlife, and the consequences of loss and tragedy. In much of her poetry, Stowe considers the relationship between Protestantism and Catholicism, a relatively radical position for her day.

A thorn in the angry eyes of American slave owners, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist. Her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) became one of the most famous literary attacks on slavery at the time. The novel was also turned into a play and adapted to the movie screen more than once. The latest version from 1987 features Samuel L. Jackson, one of the most popular actors of his generation. Stowe also wrote numerous travel memoirs, letters, articles, and short stories – all crucial to the depiction of the injustice of African Americans we still hear about today.
