Known as the “father of the American novel”, the late eighteenth century author Charles Brockden Brown wrote Gothic romances in American settings, paving the way for the masterpieces of Poe and Hawthorne. Brown’s writings exploit horror and terror, while reflecting a thoughtful liberalism. Generally regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper, Brown also wrote short stories, essays and philosophical dialogues, establishing his reputation as a crucial literary figure of the French Revolution era.
