Wieland: or, The Transformation

A voice with no body speaks in the summerhouse — commanding, reasonable, unanswerable — and a devout Pennsylvania family does what it says. Brown was the first American to live by his pen, threw over the law for it, and wrote four novels in fifteen months; he took a real Yates murder case, added ventriloquism, and produced the first American Gothic novel. Sixty plates by painters including Munch and Inman turn the family garden, the dungeon farewell, and the memorial into a visual echo of the novel's domestic terror.
