¶ Charles Brockden Brown may not unjustly be termed "The Father of American Novelists." Under an equable exterior, he concealed the tormented state of mind in which, in all his novels, he was so much interested. "In Arthur Mervyn Brown manged to give a sense of the horror of silent streets disturbed only by the rattling of the dead cart, of the terror of empty houses abandoned to the dead and the dying, of the atmosphere of disease and death hanging over the panic-stricken city in which neither food nor shelter could be bought. He describes the flight of the living, the atrocities of the hospital, and the hearse men dragging out the still breathing bodies, and illustrates the general desolation by the experiences of Arthur who, attacked by the fever, could only drag himself to a deserted house to die out of reach of the hospital cart. Brown's descriptions are of an unshrinking realism, he never trusts in suggestion or in the imagination of his reader, and yet from his loathsome catalogue of disgusting details there results an effect of simple horror" (Loshe, The Early American Novel). Arthur Mervyn was Brown's second novel, after Wieland; or, The Transformation. An American Tale (1798). The book proved a success and a sequel was published in New York the following year

He is generally regarded as the most accomplished American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper. The breadth of his achievement in many different genres--novels, short stories, essays, reviews and periodical writings, poetry, historiography--make him a central figure in the U.S. literary and cultural scene of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Wieland, Or The Transformation Together With Memoirs Of Carwin The Biloquist, A Fragment.

Hafner Publishing Co., New York: 1963. Softcover. reading copy. Notes and pen markings on some pages. Charles Brockden Brown, called the Father of American Literature, was the first writer of stature the United States produced. In a land barren of literary talent, Brown possessed not only genius but also the courage to rebel against family and the prejudices of his generation. He dared to write fiction in an age when literature for the sake of mere entertainment was considered immoral. His most notable novel, Wieland, or The Transformation, published in 1798, is a Gothic tale with an American setting that replaced such conventions as haunted castles with more unusual devices of terror - the spontaneous combustion of a human being, ventriloquism, and religious mania. Narrated by Clara, the only survivor of the Wieland family, whose history is cursed with tragedies, the story builds in suspense to the night when her brother, in a divinely inspired seizure, nurders his entire family.

The Novels and Related Works of Charles Brockden Brown, Bicentennial Edition, Complete in Six Volumes

Kent State University Press, 1987. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. No jackets. An exceptional set with crisp corners and no markings. 1987 Hard Cover. Complete in six hardcover volumes. 8vo. Original cloth, gilt titles & design, marbled endpapers. Includes: Wieland; Memoirs of Carwin; Ormond; Arthur Mervyn; Edgar Huntly; Clara Howard; Jane Talbot; Alcuin; and Stephen Calvert. These are critical editions, each including historical and textual essays, along with extensive notes, information on editions and variants, and other supplementary material. Brown is most well known for Wieland, the first American Gothic novel. Despite harsh treatment by critics, Brown's work has maintained a steady audience since Wieland's publication in 1798 (Yes, I did the math too, and this set either jumped the gun on the bicentennial or, if we're going by Brown's year of birth, missed it by six years. C'est la vie.). He continues to be among the most studied of early American authors.
