The writer was involved at the time in a copyright dispute over an unauthorized German translation of her book "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The dispute led to the decision in the case of Stowe v. Thomas that rejected the claim that copyright protection prohibited translations. Bibliography Homestead, Melissa J. ""When I can Read my Title Clear": Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Stowe v.
