[@andrewrosner9397]

No mention of Swedenborg? And Alexander Kinmont? The novel is a lot more complicated than this PC version by this scholar.

I wonder if Josiah received any money from Harriet Beecher Stowe, considering she wrote it based off his life. Hmmmmm

[@Folksinger44]

Josiah actually made money on his book because it became popular after Uncle Tom's Cabin became a best seller. Harriet met him and encouraged him to give speeches and publish a second edition of his book. Generally an original work like Uncle Tom's Cabin is does not "owe" royalties to the inspiration for the work. Uncle Tom's Cabin is a complicated work that has many plot lines, not just the story of Uncle Tom.

Jane Hurst agreed. I just did a paper on UTC and the character of Eva is a perfect example of how Stowe objectified human bodies for a preordained and. Cultish religious purpose
