An examination of the personal correspondence between Harriet B. Stowe (whose letters remain unpublished) and George Eliot reveals much about the close connections formed by the important women writers of the period. Heretofore unexplained in depth by scholars, the correspondence discloses that they exchanged literary criticism; explored their religious positions with an attendant discussion of spiritualism and Stowe's conversation with Charlotte Brontë's spirit; shared their bond of womanhood and by extension their interest in women's rights; and even probed their private relations with husbands, siblings, children and friends
