OverviewCharles Brockden Brown (1771–1810) was a key writer of the revolutionary era and early U.S. republic, known for his landmark novels and other writings in a variety of genres. The Collected Writings of Charles Brockden Brown presents all of Brown’s non-novelistic writings—letters, political pamphlets, fictions, periodical writings, historical writings, and poety—in a seven-volume scholarly set. This series’ volumes are edited to the highest scholarly standards and will bear the seal of the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions (MLA-CSE). Poems, volume 7 of the series, is the first comprehensive collection of the poetry of Charles Brockden Brown (1771– 1810), one of the earliest professional writers in U.S. history. While Brown is well known as a novelist, his poetry has never before been collected, and many of the works included in this book appear in print for the first time in 200 years. The Committee on Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association has awarded the volume a seal of certification as an MLA Approved Scholarly Edition. Each edited text has a detailed textual note providing publication history, provenance, and information on attribution, along with extensive scholarly annotations. A historical introduction locates the poems in Brown’s biography, the print culture of the Revolutionary Atlantic world, and the literary history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while a textual essay provides full bibliographical information on the sources for all copy-texts, as well as an extensive description of the editorial protocols. The volume therefore promises to reshape our understanding of professional literary writing in the period after the American Revolution. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Mark L.

Pleasures of the Table Appendix 2: Poems previously attributed to Brown now excluded Selected Bibliography IndexReviewsBy consolidating this body of work, the seventh volume of The Collected Writings of Charles Brockden Brown provides a critical and contextual glimpse into both Brown's oeuvre and a literary culture that prized verse as much as it did other genres. Engaging and comprehensive, this volume systematically compiles the poems that Brown produced throughout his lifetime, giving special attention to their relationship to the corresponding social, literary, and political life of the early Republic.... [T]hey go beyond Brown's output to situate his work within a fresh understanding of early American poetry. Indeed, this volume's major contribution is not only that it augments our understanding of Brown's work, but also that it trenchantly illuminates the connections between disparate genres and interpersonal discourse--connections that merit further study.
