Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and Herman Melville’s “Bartleby
the Scrivener"
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
This 4 page report discusses two of the best-known American authors of
the 19th century. Both Melville and Stowe were able to encapsulate many more
sensibilities and awarenesses in their characters than would be readily evident in the story
of an old “Negro” slave or the story being told by a “rather elderly man” about a
“law-copyist or scrivener” named Bartleby. Bibliography lists only the two primary
sources.
