Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) born Jan. 17, 1771 , Philadelphia died Feb. 22, 1810 , Philadelphia 1771-1810, American novelist and editor, b. Philadelphia, considered the first professional American novelist. After the publication of Alcuin: A Dialogue (1798), he wrote such novels as Edgar Huntly Arthur Mervyn (2 vol., 1799-1800), and Ormond (1799), in which he presented arguments for social reform. Wieland (1799) was by far his most popular work and foreshadowed the psychological novel. To support himself after 1800 he became a merchant but also edited successively three periodicals, wrote political pamphlets, and projected a compendium on geography. See B.

(Radcliffe was known for her terrifying Gothic novels; a novelist and social reformer, Godwin was the father of Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein and married English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.) Driven by poverty, Brown hastily penned four haunting novels in two years: Wieland Arthur Mervyn Ormond (1799), and Edgar Huntley (1799). In them, he developed the genre of American Gothic. The Gothic novel was a popular genre of the day featuring exotic and wild settings, disturbing psychological depth, and much suspense. Trappings included ruined castles or abbeys, ghosts, mysterious secrets, threatening figures, and solitary maidens who survive by their wits and spiritual strength. At their best, such novels offer tremendous suspense and hints of magic, along with profound explorations of the human soul in extremity. Critics suggest that Brown's Gothic sensibility expresses deep anxieties about the inadequate social institutions of the new nation. Brown used distinctively American settings. A man of ideas, he dramatized scientific theories, developed a personal theory of fiction, and championed high literary standards despite personal poverty. Though flawed, his works are darkly powerful. Increasingly, he is seen as the precursor of romantic writers like

Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) Charles Brockden Brown was born in Philadelphia into a prosperous family at an important moment in the development of what would become the United States of America. He became an important novelist, essayist, and printer after having attempted(with ill success because of his own lack of interest) to enter the family business and then the practice of law. Brown formed a lasting acquaintance with members of a New York City literary circle made up of Federalists, and he moved to New York City for a brief time in order to nurture his writing career. His conversations with Federalist-oriented associates, including Timothy Dwight and Elihu Hubbard Smith, along with his reading the works of figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, would eventually have a significant impact upon much of Brown's writing. The decade of the 1790s was an important period in Brown's creative life. He wrote stories and then several novels in sequence during this time. He considered women's rights in Alcuin (1798) and then turned to explorations of the imagination in several novels: Wieland, which took up the effects of ventriloquism and scientific phenomena and a critique of religious delusion; Ormond, which celebrated a central woman of high moral character who struggled against the title character, a seducer;Edgar Huntly, which was an unusual and absorbing tale about a sleep-walker; and Arthur Mervyn, which took as its focal point the Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793.

Charles Brockden Brown The Man at Home, No. XIII To be sure! Yet retire for a while: I shall not leap out of the window to escape you. I am weary of my present habitation, and should, in a few days, have put myself within your power. I have not the least objection to this visit, though, I must own, it was somewhat unexpected. He is gone. Sheriff's officers are seldom so polite; but he knows that I cannot escape him. There is but one inlet and outlet to this room, and as my dinner is preparing, he was not disposed to baulk my appetite. This little interval may be employed in bringing my lucubrations to a closean earlier close, by far, than I dreamt of, even so lately as this morning. Fourteen days have been spent shut up in this apartment. Many things have occurred to render memorable this voluntary imprisonment, not to myself only, but to the wide world; who, when it shall have an opportunity of perusing the memoirs of Bedloe, will deem the chance that fixed me here, to the last degree, auspicious. I was somewhat disconcerted by the entrance of this guest. He gave me no warning of his coming, and used no ceremony. He bade me "Good morning:" I returned the salutation, but the abruptness of his introduction, and the strangeness of his countenance, not having seen him before, made me readily suspect his business. This, however, was more fully explained by the paper which he put into my hands, and which, on opening it, I found to be a "Capias ad respondendum."

Strangers to Us All Lawyers and Poetry Charles Brockden Brown The Cyclopaedia of American Literature "Charles Brockden Brown was . . . of Quaker lineage, his ancestors having emigrated to Pennsylvania in the same ship which brough William Penn to her shores. He was born in Philadelphia on the seventeenth of January, 1771. . . . "The early years of the future novelist were marked by intellectual precocity and physical weakness. He found food in books for the cravings caused by the one, and a solace for the deprivations entailed by the other. When but an infant he could be safely left without other companion than a picture-book, which would engross his attention so completely as to exclude all ideas of mischief and apprehensions of danger. . . . "At the age of eleven he entered the school of Robert Proud, a renowned teacher of those days. He reamined here five years, pursuing classical studies with such ardor that his slight physical frame often broke down under his exertions. . . . A passion for verse-making succeeded the regular duties of school. He laid Virgil and Homer on the shelf only to endeavor to rvial their labors by his own. . . . "We next hear of Brown as a law student in the office of Alexander Wilson, a leading member of the Philadelphia bar. The study was as discordant with his mental as its practice with his personal habits. He appears, however, to have at first taken hold of the profession with ardor as he became a member of a law society, bore a leading aprt in its forensic debates, and was elected its President. This association, however, soon had a rival in the formation of the 'Belles Lettres Club,' of which Brown, who was at first averse to the project, soon became the leader. He was conscientiously active in both of these assocations, and his decisions in the cases brought before the first named association show that his mind was well fitted for the legal profession. . . ."

In them, Brown not only reveled in weird personalities but also revealed the real psychological and social ills and tensions (rooted in innate human depravity) besetting a new country in the last decade of the 18th century. If this convincing, clearly written argument does not remove Brown from the camp of Poe, at least it should set him down beside Hawthorne and Melville as one of the most trenchant critics of early America.

Are these the result of delusions, ventriloquism, or divine forces? In this Gothic thriller, novelist Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) portrays a man beset by religious guilt which erupts into mania, transforming him into the murderer of his wife and children. Once the mystery of the controlling voices is revealed, Theodore's sister, Clara, undergoes her own transformation, as she moves from bitterness and despair over her brother's destruction to resignation and, finally, peace. Brown's fascination with the scientifically bizarre and the macabre influenced Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. But he sought the solutions to his mysteries in nature and in the depths of the human mind, rather than in the realm of the supernatural.

Wieland; or the Transformation: An American Tale Author Info: Charles Brockden Brown Charles Brockden Brown is known as the "Father of the American novel" and is considered to be our first professional author. At least by those who do consider him at all. To be perfectly frank, I'd never really heard of the guy before now. But this excellent gothic tale, which was based on the true story of a farmer who thought that angels had commanded him to kill his own family, is so clearly the forerunner of the fiction of everyone from Hawthorne and Melville to Poe and Henry James to H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard right on up to Shirley Jackson and Stephen King , that it is hard to believe that his work is not better known nor taught more often. Wieland, his first novel, tells the story of a religious fanatic who builds a temple in the seclusion of his own farm, but then is struck dead, apparently by spontaneous combustion. Several years later, his children, in turn, begin to hear voices around the family property, voices which alternately seem to be commanding good or evil and which at times imitate denizens of the farm. Are the voices somehow connected to a mysterious visitor who has begun hanging around? Are they commands from God? From demons? Suffice it to say things get pretty dicey before we find out the truth. This is a terrific creepy story which obviously influenced the course of American fiction. Brown develops an interesting serious theme of the role that reason can play in combating superstition and religious mania, but keeps the action cranking and the mood deliciously gloomy. The language is certainly not modern but it is accessible and generally understandable. It's a novel that should be

Charles Brockden Brown Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Born in Philadelphia to wealthy Quaker parents, Charles Brockden Brown was initially pressured by his family to study law. However, he had no real interest in the profession and would write in the evenings while studying law by day. After he finally admitted to his parents that he felt unable to appear before the bar, he began his writing career in earnest. Brown felt guilty for disappointing his family, but was rewarded with positive responses to his writing from Philadelphia literary circles. Moving to New York in 1798 (and contracting and surviving yellow fever, an event which later found its way into his writing), Brown cultivated friends who were engaged in the fine arts and read widely. He was prolific in the following years, publishing the novels
