The Harriet Beecher Stowe Society offers academics, independent scholars, and students an opportunity to share in the study and appreciation of the works and life of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Through presentations of scholarly work, round-table discussions, and conferences, the Society provides a forum for Stowe studies. The Stowe Society was founded in 1996 by Dorothy Baker of the University of Houston.

Episode description: Tess and Brock stay close to home while studying Harriet Beecher Stowe, the 19th-century author famous for writing Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Susanna Aston tells the harrowing story of how Stowe harbored fugitive slave John Andrew Jackson, and how one decision can change the course of history.
Program description:
Dead Writers takes listeners inside famous American authors’ homes. Riffing on literature, history, home décor, gardens, and ghosts, literary critic Tess Chakkalakal and novelist Brock Clarke bring great American writers, and the books they wrote, back from the dead.

The Collected Works of Harriet Beecher Stowe
Joan Hedrick and Susan Belasco are pleased to announce a contract with Oxford University Press for The Collected Works of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Along with Wesley Raabe, the Textual Editor, Joan and Susan have established an Advisory Board, prepared an editorial handbook, and are now in the process of working on proposals and inviting volume editors for the 33 planned volumes. The first objective of this edition is to publish readable, scholarly editions of Stowe’s novels, travel writing, poetry, short stories and sketches, religious writings, and journalism. A secondary purpose is to publish an edition of Stowe’s letters. Each volume in the Collected Works of Harriet Beecher Stowe will be printed in a hardback of 500-600 pages, depending on the volume contents. As with Oxford’s other editions, The Collected Works of Harriet Beecher Stowe will also be available by individual or institutional subscription through the Oxford Scholarly Editions Online series. With the support of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, these scholarly editions will allow straightforward access to Stowe’s writing, with tools for scholars, allowing readers to see textual variants and move as seamlessly as possible between text and commentary.
