The Minister s Wooing = Сватовство священника

Описание

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811—1896) was an American abolitionist and a writer. She is best known for her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin", which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. "The Minister's Wooing" is her third historical novel, a domestic comedy that examines slavery, Protestant theology, and gender differences in early America. It is set in eighteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, a community known for its engagement in both religious piety and the slave trade.
