A table, somewhat rheumatic in its limbs, was drawn out in front of the fire, and covered with a cloth, displaying cups and saucers of a decidedly brilliant pattern, with other symptoms of an approaching meal. At this table was seated Uncle Tom, Mr Shelby’s best hand, who, as he is to be the hero of our story, we must daguerreotype for our readers. He was a large, broad-chested, powerfully-made man, of a full glossy black, and a face whose truly African features were characterised by an expression of grave and steady good sense, united with much kindliness and benevolence. There was something about his whole air self-respecting and dignified, yet united with a confiding and humble simplicity.

He was very busily intent at this moment on a slate lying before him, on which he was carefully and slowly endeavouring to accomplish a copy of some letters; in which operation he was overlooked by young Mas’r George, a smart, bright boy of thirteen, who appeared fully to realise the dignity of his position as instructor.

‘Not that way, Uncle Tom ---- not that way,’ said he, briskly, as Uncle Tom laboriously brought up the tail of his the wrong side out: ‘that makes a q, you see.’

‘La sakes, now, does it?’ said Uncle Tom, looking with a respectful, admiring air, as his young teacher flourishingly scrawled q’s and g’s innumerable for his edification; and then, taking the pencil in his big, heavy fingers, he patiently recommenced.

This study focuses on the dynamic interaction between Byron and Madame de Staël, Lady Morgan, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen, and the reaction to Byronism of the Brontës and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It thus challenges previous critics segregation of the male Romantic poets from their female peers whose agenda was perceived to be different domestic and social.
