“写了一本书,酿成一场大战的小妇人。”这是1863年林肯总统接见小说《汤姆叔叔的小屋》作者斯托夫人时,说的一句玩笑话。然而这句话又是耐人寻味的。斯托夫人只是一位女作家,而且以她细腻温柔的心灵、宽广博爱的胸怀以及强烈的正义感,书写了一部部反映19世纪美国社会现实的小说,又怎么会与战事扯上关系? “Wrote a book that led to a war of young women. ” This is a joke when President Lincoln met with Mrs. Stowe in 1863, when President Lincoln met the novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. However, this sentence is intriguing. Mrs. Stowe is only a woman writer. However, with her delicate tender soul, her broad-mindedness and strong sense of justice, she wrote a novel that reflects the realities of American society in the nineteenth century and how it would have something to do with the war.
