BROWN, See also:CHARLES BROCKDEN (1771-181o) , See also:American novelist, was See also:born of Quaker parents in See also:Philadelphia, on the 17th of See also:January 1771. Of delicate constitution and retiring habits, he See also:early devoted himself to study; his See also:principal amusement was the invention of ideal architectural designs, devised on the most extensive and elaborate See also:scale. This characteristic See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, ! Recollections of a First Visit to the Alps (1841); Vacation Rambles weight, from root raX-, to lift, as in rXi vac, to bear, 1-aXas, and Thoughts, comprising recollections of three Continental
talent for construction subsequently assumed the shape of Utopian projects for perfect commonwealths, and at a later See also:period of a See also:series of novels distinguished by the ingenuity and consistent See also:evolution of the See also:plot. The transition between these intellectual phases is marked by a juvenile See also:romance entitled Carsol, not published until after the author's See also:death, which professes to depict an imaginary community, and shows how thoroughly the See also:young American was inspired by See also:Godwin and See also:Mary Wollstonecraft, whose principal writings had recently made their See also:appearance. From the latter he derived the See also:idea of his next See also:work, The See also:Dialogue of See also:Alcuin (r797), an enthusiastic but inexperienced See also:essay on the question of woman's rights and liberties. From Godwin he learned his terse See also:style, condensed to a See also:fault, but too laconic for eloquence or modulation, and the See also:art of developing a plot from a single psychological problem or mysterious circumstance. The novels which he now rapidly produced offer the strongest See also:affinity to See also:Caleb See also:Williams, and if inferior to that remarkable work in subtlety of See also:mental See also:analysis, greatly surpass it in affluence of invention and intensity of poetical feeling. All are See also:wild and weird in conception, with incidents bordering on the preternatural, yet the limit of possibility is never transgressed. In See also:Wieland; or the Transformation (1798), the first and most striking, a seemingly inexplicable See also:mystery is resolved into a See also:case of See also:ventriloquism. See also:Arthur Mervyn; or See also:Memoirs of the See also:Year 1793 (1798-1800), is remarkable for the description of the epidemic of yellow See also:fever in Philadelphia. See also:Edgar See also:Huntly (Philadelphia, 18o1), a romance See also:rich in See also:local colouring, is remarkable for the effective use made of See also:somnambulism, and anticipates See also:- COOPER

Cooper's introduction of the American See also:Indian into fiction. See also:Ormond (1799) is less powerful, but contains one See also:character, See also:Constantia See also:Dudley, which excited the enthusiastic admiration of See also:Shelley. Two subsequent novels, See also:Clara See also:Howard (18or) and Jane See also:Talbot (1804) , dealing with See also:ordinary See also:life, proved failures, and Brown betook himself to compiling a See also:general See also:system of See also:geography, editing a periodical, and an See also:annual See also:register, and See also:writing See also:political See also:pamphlets. He died of See also:consumption on the 22nd of See also:February 181o. He is depicted by his biographer as the purest and most amiable of men, and in spite of a certain formality, due perhaps to his Quaker See also:education, the statement is See also:borne out by his See also:correspondence.
