Product Description

Product Description
An influential classic of American gothic and urban literature, Charles Brockden Brown's "Arthur Mervyn; Or, Memoirs of the Year 1793" (1799-1800) memorialises the epic Philadelphia Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 and connects it to the upheavals of the revolutionary era and the murderous financial networks of Atlantic slavery. This edition of Brown's widely-read novel offers selections from key contemporary texts - including Richard Allen and Absalom Jones' "Narrative" (1794) defending the city's Free Black community, Godwin's "Enquiry Concerning Political Justice" (1793), Laurence Sterne's "Sentimental Journey" (1768), 1790s abolitionist tracts by members of Brown's circle, and popular poetry on the slave trade and imperial commerce - as well as excerpts from Brown's own writings on slavery, race, and the uses of history in fiction.
