Produktbeschreibung

Charles Brockden Brown's 'Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist (A Fragment)' delves into the psychological complexities of the human mind, using the literary device of biloquism to explore themes of deception, manipulation, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. The novel is situated within the Gothic literary tradition, with dark and mysterious themes, intricate plot twists, and a sense of impending doom that looms over the narrative. Brown's writing style is sophisticated and nuanced, drawing readers into a world where nothing is as it seems and where the boundaries between truth and falsehood are constantly shifting. The book is a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a fascinating exploration of human nature. Charles Brockden Brown, known as the first professional American novelist, was a pioneer of Gothic fiction and an influential figure in early American literature. His keen understanding of psychology and his exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche make 'Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist' a compelling and thought-provoking read. I highly recommend this novel to readers who enjoy dark, psychological thrillers and appreciate the intricacies of Gothic literature.

Autorenporträt

Charles Brockden Brown (1771 - 1810), an American novelist, historian, and editor of the Early National period, is generally regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper. He is the most frequently studied and republished practitioner of the "early American novel," or the US novel between 1789 and roughly 1820. Although Brown was not the first American novelist, as some early criticism claimed, the breadth and complexity of his achievement as a writer in multiple genres (novels, short stories, essays and periodical writings of every sort, poetry, historiography, reviews) makes him a crucial figure in US literature and culture of the 1790s and first decade of the 19th century, and a significant public intellectual in the wider Atlantic print culture and public sphere of the era of the French Revolution.
