Textul de pe ultima copertă
Edgar
Huntlyis
a
compelling
tale
of
sleepwalking,
murder,
and
frontier
violence
set
in
rural
Pennsylvania
in
the
1780s.
His
memory
and
wits
shaken
by
the
scenes
he
has
witnessed,
ordinary
republican
citizen
Edgar
Huntly
relates
the
unpredictable
and
catastrophic
consequences
of
his
chance
encounter
with
Clithero
Edny,
a
mysterious
Irish
immigrant
whose
unfortunate
but
violent
history
catches
up
with
him
in
the
New
World.
Huntly's
growing
obsession
with
Clithero
plunges
both
men
into
physical
and
mental
danger,
unsettling
the
colonial
territories
of
the
Delaware
basin
and
the
cognitive
territory
of
Huntly's
own
mind.
Brown's
artful
sensationalism
transplants
the
European
form
of
the
gothic
romance
to
the
new
United
States,
yielding
one
of
the
most
exciting,
metaphysically
sophisticated,
and
historically
self-aware
novels
in
early
American
literary
culture.
This Broadview Edition includes a rich selection of historical materials on the gothic and sublime; sleepwalking; captivity narratives; and early American literary nationalism.

Notă biografică
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.
