   Extractions: Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) Contributing Editor: Carla Mulford 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. B. Brown. They are unused to first-person narratives of Brown's order if they have been in a chronologically-arranged survey course. They have been used to first-person narratives that explore particular models of behavior, like the spiritual autobiography. Brown, writing in the absence of particular religious ideologies or political agendas, puzzles them. Some students like him immensely; others find him obtuse and irrational. I play upon students' surprise at Brown's narrative, and I stress that if Brown's narratives seem irrational, then perhaps that was part of Brown's point, that life itself is unpredictable according to rational plans. I show them that at the time when most writers were attempting to find ways to model the Federalist political agenda, Brown was questioning the assumptions of the modelthat life could be organized like a coherent machine and that people could be taught "moral" behavior. If students can't quite see it this way, then I talk with them about various means by which authors more familiar to them ( Poe , Conrad, Hawthorne ) have represented the unconscious and seemingly irrational behavior.

   Extractions: 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.

   Extractions: 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."

   Extractions: Charles Brockden Brown was born on January 17, 1771, in Philadelphia to Quaker parents, Elijah and Mary Armitt Brown. He grew up amid the excitement and turmoil of the colonies in revolt, even witnessing the arrest and temporary banishment to Virginia of his wealthy merchant father, whose Quaker pacifism led to accusations of being a British sympathizer. Brown entered the Friends Latin School in Philadelphia at the age of eleven and studied under the distinguished Robert Proud, graduating at the age of seventeen. Instead of attending college, Brown initially complied with his family’s wishes and began working as a lawyer’s apprentice to Alexander Wilcocks, but he became disenchanted with the profession by 1793. All the while, he continued to nurture his literary skills and in 1786 joined the Belles Letters Club of Philadelphia. In 1789, he published a series of essays in Columbian Magazine under the title “The Rhapsodist,” adopting the persona of a “hermit-explorer” who, as Emory Elliot explains, “spent months alone in the Ohio wilderness, meditating on human nature.” Brown may have disappointed his family by not entering the family mercantile business, but his Quaker upbringing infused his writings with ethical and moral themes.

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.

    Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature Democratic Origins and Revolutionary Writers, 1776-1820 > Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) Index Already mentioned as the first professional American writer, Charles Brockden Brown was inspired by the English writers Mrs. Radcliffe and English William Godwin. (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

    Extractions: "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. . . ."
