	Charles Brockden Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Brockden Brown (January 17, 1771 - February 22, 1810), American novelist, historian, and magazine editor of the Early National period, is often regarded by scholars as the most ambitious and accomplished US novelist before Cooper.
		Although Brown was by no means the first American novelist, as some early criticism claimed, the breadth and complexity of his achievement in multiple genres (the novel, short story, essays, historiography, reviews) make him a touchstone for the understanding of the Early Republic.
		Charles Brockden Brown came of good Quaker stock long settled in Pennsylvania, where, at Philadelphia, he was born 17 January, 1771.

	Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810)
		Undergraduates find Brown peculiar when compared to other writers of the era, and they tend to say, "He reminds me of Poe," without realizing that Poe wrote a generation after C. Brown.
		Second, because of the first-person narrative form, the intense psychological issues Brown renders often take on a motif of "the double." In this narrative, young Althorpe, the narrator, has his double in both the unnamed man to whom Constantia Davis is engaged and in the anticipated intruder, Nick Handyside.
		Students have written fruitful papers on doubles in Brown; Brown's implied attack against the "rational" Federalist agenda of his day; Brown's relationship to Poe and Hawthorne.

	Charles Brockden Brown’s "Edgar Huntly" as Experimental Novel
		Brown expects his protagonist to behave rationally and justly during the violent actions of the war; however, Huntly does not act rationally.
		Brown made Huntly decide to believe that his mind was governed by an unnatural force, and this gives Huntly feelings of regret concerning the death of the Indian.
		This statement actually contradicts Huntly’s or rather Brown’s later interpretation of a would-be transition to knowledge; the transition is rather a voyage from the explicable to the inexplicable.

		But the crisis, the danger and circulating discourses of Brown's age is mere ornament; a context to be fitted to the author's craft.
		If Brown is the supreme diagnostician of the fevers of his time, then Christophersen's attempt to "feed a cold, starve a fever" by offering a reading of Brown as supremely representative of an America that reflects unquestioned truths, ideology and hegemonic realities is nothing less than malpractice.
		In retrospect, I deeply lamented Christophersen's desire to read Brown "without preconception or ulterior motive" because, undoubtedly inscribed in those conceits and motives were the riffs and rhythms of a newer and more insightful appreciation of an important writer and his tenuous social circumstances.

	Charles Brockden Brown's Somnambulism: A Fragment - Associated Content
		In "Somnambulism: A Fragment" Charles Brockden Brown uses the gothic style to convey an unharnessed terror in a single vision: Young Althorpe, while sleepwalking in a forest, murders the woman he desires.
		But the story is more than a ludicrous curiosity, to read it thus would miss its elegantly stated manifesto against the dangers of Benjamin Franklin's megalomaniacal ideals of industry and pragmatism.
		Browns' mode of style is strategic, subversive, infiltrating the reader and earnest student of the eighteenth century by mixing the ordinary with the grotesque, the intelligent with the very wrong.

	The Literary Gothic \| Charles Brockden Brown page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Generally regarded as the first American novelist, Brown is a key figure in the tradition of Gothic fiction, for some of his novels--Edgar Huntly, Wieland, Arthur Mervyn--are responsible for "Americanizing" the Gothic, which in its European incarnation featured imagery (ruined castles, etc) that was simply non-existent, and hence symbolically inert, in America.
		Brown shifted the settings of his works to American locales--forests, towns, caves, outlying estates -- and relocated the sources of terror, yet retained a Gothic mood of emotional and psychological extremity.
		Brown's "Big Three" Gothic tales are available in one handy edition (alas, currently only in hardback):
