Autorenporträt
Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) was a pioneering American novelist, editor, and essayist, often credited as the first professional American novelist. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Brown's literary career flourished during the early years of the United States, a time marked by political upheaval and intellectual ferment. Brown is best known for his contributions to American Gothic literature, a genre he helped establish with his novels that explored themes of terror, mystery, and psychological suspense. His works often delved into the darker aspects of human nature and society, reflecting the anxieties and uncertainties of his time. One of Brown's most famous novels is "Wieland; or, The Transformation" (1798), which tells the story of a family plagued by religious fanaticism and psychological terror. This novel is considered one of the earliest examples of American Gothic fiction and remains a key work in the genre. Brown's other notable works include "Arthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793" (1799-1800), which portrays the social and moral challenges faced by its protagonist in post-Revolutionary War America, and "Ormond; or, The Secret Witness" (1799), a complex narrative of intrigue and psychological depth set in Philadelphia. Although Brown's literary career was relatively short-he died at the age of 39-his influence on American literature was profound. He is recognized for his innovative approach to storytelling, his exploration of Gothic themes within an American context, and his contributions to the development of the psychological novel. Charles Brockden Brown's legacy as a pioneering American novelist continues to be studied and celebrated for its literary merit and its exploration of timeless themes that resonate with readers to this day.
