I give up again...for now. ( ) How come I never heard of Brown in my American Lit. classes? This guy is a genius. Wieland is a compulsive page-turner with Clara Wieland developed into one of the most memorable female characters I know of. A couple of times it almost scared the living daylights out of me as well as impressing me by how well so many loose strands can be woven together with ingenuity. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Called a “remarkable story” by John Greenleaf Whittier and described by John Keats as “very powerful,” Wieland, Charles Brockden Brown’s disturbing 1798 tale of terror, is a masterpiece involving spontaneous combustion, disembodied voices, religious mania, and a gruesome murder based on a real-life incident. This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes Wieland’s fragmentary sequel, Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist, as well as several other important but hard-to-find Brockden Brown short stories, including “Thessalonica,” “Walstein’s School of History,” and “Death of Cicero.” This collection also reproduces the newspaper account of the murder that inspired Wieland.
