This seminar looks at two bestselling nineteenth-century American authors whose works made the subject of slavery popular among mainstream readers. <em>Uncle Tom’s Cabin</em> by Harriet Beecher Stowe and <em>The Adventures of</em> <em>Huckleberry Finn</em> by Mark Twain have subsequently become canonized and reviled, embraced and banned by individuals and groups at both ends of the political and cultural spectrum and everywhere in between.
