About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Minister's Wooing by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Read in English by J. M. Smallheer; Jim Locke; Amy Deuchler; Denise Nordell; Kathi Reynolds; Eva Davis; jhWang; garyday Harriet Beecher Stowe is today best known for her classic novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. However, that book was certainly not her only remarkable anti-slavery work. In The Minister's Wooing, Stowe takes the reader into 18th century New England, and uses that setting to explore themes of slavery and religion, as the background to a domestic story. Mary, the heroine of this story, is a woman between several candidates for matrimony. The man she truly loved is lost at sea, and so she finally decides to marry a minister whom she does not love. Will there be a happy end? - Summary by Carolin
