Description

On Wieland; or the Transformation : "An impressive edition . . . the most thoroughly satisfying historical and literary contextualization for the novel that I've ever encountered.

Shapiro and Barnard offer a rich transatlantic artistic and ideological context that helps pull the whole novel into coherent focus.

The footnotes to the novel are incredibly thorough, helpful, and interesting. . . . This Hackett edition of Wieland [is] the freshest and most topical of those now available." --Dana D.

Nelson, Vanderbilt University On Ormond; or, the Secret Witness : "Philip Barnard and Stephen Shapiro have produced an awesome edition of Brown's Ormond by providing copious explanatory notes and helpful documentation of the essential historical context of feminist, radical, egalitarian, and abolitionist expression.

Oh, ye patriots, read it and learn!" --Peter Linebaugh, University of Toledo On Arthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793 : "This new edition of Arthur Mervyn far exceeds any previous version of this remarkable American novel.

Through exhaustive archival research, the editors have produced a reliable text constructed within the intellectual, cultural, political, and religious contexts of a society informing Brown's efforts to capture and preserve the formation of the early republic for generations of readers and cultural historians.

This vital text is essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of the United States." --Emory Elliott, University Professor, University of California-Riverside On Edgar Huntly; or, Memoirs of a Sleep-Walker : "This is now the edition of choice for those of us who teach Brown's fascinating Edgar Huntly .

Barnard and Shapiro explore the relevant historical, cultural, and literary backgrounds in their illuminating Introduction; they skillfully annotate the text; they provide useful and up-to-date bibliographies; and they append a number of revealing primary texts for further cultural contextualization.

This edition will help to stimulate new thinking about race, empire, and sexuality in Brown's prescient novel of the American frontier." --Robert S.

Levine, University of Maryland
