Yet Jane Talbot deserves to be read not as expressing the rising interests of liberalism and imperialist nationalism but as critiquing their emergence, while also standing as a retrospective consideration of the flaws of 1790s Woldwinite claims for rational sentiment and progressive emulation as a mechanism for social betterment. Jane Talbot stands as one of the first American literary productions that self-consciously understands itself as a novel (rather than a “romance”) while also suggesting the limits to the novel form in a period of increasingly dominant economic and political liberalism.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127431429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noting the strange similarity between Charles Brockden Brown’s romance and Francisco Goya’s The Sleep of Reason, produced in the same year, the chapter argues that Brown and Goya are alike in ironizing the Enlightenment by noting that violence as often arises from reason as from its repression, as much from intellectuals striving to do good as from irrational impulses. Like many Gothic texts, the romance’s presiding metaphor is live burial, in a cave but also in language, in the very instrument of reason. The romance parallels the sleepwalking of the ambiguous foreign other, Clithere, and narrator Edgar; and just as Clithero’s narrative proves to be a compromised tissue of intertextual fantasies and lies, ostensibly benevolent but ultimately murderous, so doubt is cast on the narrator, also dangerously fettered by reason.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123983629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But its unfinished condition and its serialization (in Brown’s Monthly Magazine) can be seen not as a defect and an accident of publication but as essential components of a metafictional narrative experiment and as reasons for critical interest and speculation. The novel’s eponymous narrator, Stephen, early on tells readers that his history of moral deterioration is unprecedented in its horrors and cannot be imagined; then on the last page, readers are challenged to imagine the rest of an unfinished story that is ostensibly unimaginable. In some ways, this is Brown’s most adventurous novel, involving explosive issues of sex and sexual violence, race and slavery, homoerotic rivalry and sodomy, erotic antinomianism, and grave moral depravity—plot lines that Brown may have found it impossible to carry through to their logical conclusions.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125410263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strong women he created in his fiction have attracted the admiration of readers and writers over many generations, and his exploration of gender dynamics remains unsurpassed. This essay focuses on two fictional texts, Alcuin; A Dialogue (1798) and the novel Ormond; or, The Secret Witness (1800), in which the promises of the Enlightenment and the American Revolution for the transformation of gender as a social relation are critically examined, their limits tested, and their justice affirmed. Next to the well-known Ormond, the early Alcuin emerges as a masterpiece of social satire and sociological analysis.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115064632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His periodicals became increasingly political. Brown’s “Annals of Europe and America” document historical events, his capacity as a novelist to write “history,” and his status as an ironic historian. In assessing Napoleonic rule and British expansion, he develops a self-conscious method that also informs his inquiry into American events. He sympathetically renders oppressed others in India, comments ironically on motives for exploiting the American west, and interrogates political intrigue in the 1808 Republican nomination process. With developing awareness of the constructed, contingent nature of history, Brown came to understand political self-interest, power and imperialism, and American exceptionalism relative to that of Europe. As in his novels, he imaginatively and provocatively employed genre conventions of the day to represent the past and critically reflect on the present.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128513109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Be they cityscapes or desert wilderness, architectural structures or complex spatial systems, Brown’s settings reveal geographic writing protocols and theories of representation that in turn served as creative venues for contemplating political doctrines of territoriality; Enlightenment fantasies of fixed spaces in an age of globalization and landscape aesthetics; and new geographic sensibilities linking the human body to the sensory experience of space and the spatial feeling of emplacement. By recovering Brown’s lifelong enthusiasm for the science of geography, the chapter concludes that in the course of his literary career, Brown not only repudiated writing fiction in favor of textbook geography but preferred geographic over literary authorship.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"437 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122881743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the course of the eighteenth century, Philadelphia Quakers went from a dominant to a persecuted minority. Quaker treatment of Native American and Scots-Irish neighbors was the source of internal and external strife, especially in the aftermath of the Paxton Boys uprising. Aspects of this history can be discerned in Brown’s writing on Quakers. Brown directly discussed Quakers in a number of periodical pieces after 1800, and he made imaginative explorations of religious and Quaker issues in his novels Arthur Mervyn, Wieland, and, in particular, Edgar Huntly. While the mature Brown retained an acute sense of Quaker history and practice, he denied Quakers any particular regard or advocacy.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128883179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disrupting routines, halting commerce, and endangering the health and welfare of residents of these areas, the outbreaks also play a central role in the writings of Charles Brockden Brown, who used them to frame some of his novels and tales and to position his characters in moments of crisis. Moreover, this chapter connects the dilemma in the “Man at Home” series to the founding father and debtor Robert Morris, and through this connection we see how Brown positions debt alongside yellow fever as social crises that his characters must navigate. By exploring how Brown used yellow fever in his writing and how scholars have interpreted this use, this chapter explains the multifaceted roles that the disease had on Brown and our understanding of his work.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126747072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores Brown’s early adaptations of contemporary aesthetic categories, tracing his transition between the neoclassical and early-Romantic movements in his journalistic essays as well as his four Gothic novels. These early aesthetic concerns are linked to discursive cultivations of the American landscape, variously connected to the period’s expanding interest in picturesque tourism and early American boosterism or to Brown’s interest in constructing the American landscape symbolically or allegorically by adapting the new vocabularies of the Gothic and picturesque to explore the tensions of settler-colonial spaces in the new nation. It also touches on Brown’s ongoing fascination with visionary architecture, providing an overview of his unpublished juvenile architectural drawings. Finally, it expands on Brown’s fascination with the social, symbolic, and economic functions of portraiture in his fiction, registering early American anxiety about identity.","PeriodicalId":447098,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Charles Brockden Brown","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131854714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
