Disclosure statement

No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.

Notes

1. The genre had a resurgence after the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, with the appearance of Charles Dickens’ Hard Times (1854) and Gaskell’s North and South (1854–1855).

2. Interestingly, Dickens’ Bleak House was being serialised at this time from March 1852 to September 1853 (Dickens Citation1852–1853).

3. However, this may have strengthened Stowe’s standing as an ‘unofficial’ sub-diplomatic emissary between the British and American peoples. Also, the Duchess of Sutherland was known to be one of Queen Victoria’s closest intimates.
