Revising Charles Brockden Brown

Culture, Politics, and Sexuality in the Early Republic

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. Scholarship in the twentieth century developed a general understanding of Brown as an ambitious novelist but only began to explore the full extent of his writings and the issues they raise. Revising Charles Brockden Brown explores the writer as a key figure for understanding the cultural politics of this crucial era of U.S. and Atlantic history. Using contemporary critical models drawn from history, interdisciplinary cultural studies, postcolonial studies, gender and queer theory, and other areas, the essays in this collection bring Brown studies into the twenty-first century, synthesizing and extending the implications of the upsurge in Brown scholarship that has occurred over the last twenty years.
