Revising Charles Brockden Brown : culture, politics, and sexuality in the early republic
"Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810), a prolific and often controversial writer, has long been recognized as a significant figure in U.S. literary and cultural history. Brown's prose fiction, periodical writings, historiography, and pamphlets take part in the full range of political, literary, scientific, and other debates that form the cultural landscape of the first decades of the American republic from 1790 to 1810."
