Brown is often called the first American novelist. Originally
published in 1799, Ormond was inspired by enlightenment
philosophers and Gothic writers. The novel engages with many of the
period's popular debates about women's education, marriage, and the
morality of violence, while the plot revolves around the Gothic
themes of seduction, murder, incest, impersonation, romance and
disease. Set in post-revolutionary Philadelphia, Ormond examines
the prospects of the struggling nation by tracing the experiences
of Constantia, a young virtuous republican who struggles to survive
when her father's business is ruined by a confidence man, and her
friends and neighbors are killed by a yellow fever epidemic.
