Charles Brockden Brown was an American novelist, historian, and editor, who has been recognized as one of the first American novelists and an early proponent of the Gothic romance genre. Browns works are a combination of his own Romantic imagination and Enlightenment ideals, and are often characterized by elements of the sensational and violent. His work also reflects an interest in the early feminist movement, and frequently draws on Enlightenmentera medical writings by authors like Erasmus Darwin. Wieland, Browns most highly regarded novel, is deemed to be the first gothic novel by an American. This epistolary and highly psychological novel details the horrible events that befall siblings Clara and Theodore Wieland and their family. Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist was published in fragments in Browns Literary Magazine later, and tells the story of Carwin prior to his involvement in Wieland. This unfinished story clarifies some of the uncertainty surrounding Carwins character in Wieland. These two works, Browns most important, are collected together here in this volume. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper.
