Zustand: Sehr gut. Rev. ed. XII, 141 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The most famous of early American novelists, Charles Brockden Brown wrote six novels in four years, a period of intense creative activity. His use of the Gothic mode to reveal the inner life o^his protagonists prefigured the work of Poe, Hawthorne, and James and set the stage for the increasing importance of the Gothic novel in American literature. Though also a prolific writer of pamphlets and magazine articles, Brown is best remembered for his novels, for it is in these often fast-paced and suspenseful narratives-encompassing the intellectual ferment of the 1790s and the extremes of radical politics, as well as offering absorbing depictions of abnormal mental states and the horrors of yellow fever-that his ideas were most fully realized. In tracing the development of religious, political, epistemological, and psychological themes in Brown's work, Ringe provides a formalist reading of each of the six novels, from Wieland, his first and most famous, to Ormond, Arthur Mervyn, Edgar Huntly, Clara Howard, and Jane Talbot, his last.
