Originally published in 1994. The Romance of Real Life aims to
reconstruct historically the life and writings of Charles Brockden
Brown in terms of their cultural connection. Watts examines in
detail Brown's early and later writings. By looking at these
often-neglected works more closely, he offers a new perspective on
the well-known novels from the late 1790s. Watts's synthetic look
at genre as well as chronology reveals broader connections between
Brown's literature and American society and culture in the decades
of the early republic. Furthermore, Watts situates Brown's writings
in terms of the interplay of text, context, and the self, with each
factor recognized as mutually shaping the others. The Romance of
Real Life incorporates sensitivity to the "social history of
ideas," in which both the form and content of language remain
rooted in the material experience of real life.
