Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) is a key writer of the revolutionary era and U.S. early 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 poetry-in a seven-volume scholarly edition. The edition's volumes are edited to the highest scholarly standards and will bear the seal of the Modern Language Association's Committee on Scholarly Editions (MLA-CSE). Letters and Early Epistolary Writings, volume 1 of the series, presents, for the first time, Brown's complete extant correspondence along with three early epistolary fiction fragments. Brown's 179 extant letters provide essential context for reading his other works, and a wealth of information about his life, family, associates, and the wider cultural life of the revolutionary period and Early Republic. The letters document the interactions of Brown's intellectual and literary circles in Philadelphia and during his New York years, when his publishing career began in earnest.The correspondence additionally includes exchanges with notables including Thomas Jefferson and Albert Gallatin. The volumes' three epistolary fragments are the earliest examples of Brown's fiction and are transcribed here for the first time in complete and definitive texts. The volume's historical texts are fully annotated and accompanied by Historical and Textual Essays, as well as other appended materials, including the most complete and accurate information available concerning Brown's correspondents and family history. The scholarly work informing this volume establishes significant new findings concerning Brown, his family and friends, and the circumstances of his development as a major literary figure of the revolutionary Atlantic world.

Elizabeth Hewitt uncovers the centrality of letter-writing to antebellum American literature. She argues that many canonical American authors turned to the epistolary form as an idealised genre through which to consider the challenges of American democracy before the Civil War. The letter was the vital technology of social intercourse in the nineteenth century and was adopted as an exemplary genre in which authors from Crevecoeur and Adams through Jefferson, to Emerson, Melville, Dickinson and Whitman, could theorise the social and political themes that were so crucial to their respective literary projects. They interrogated the political possibilities of social intercourse through the practice and analysis of correspondence. Hewitt argues that although correspondence is generally only conceived as a biographical archive, it must instead be understood as a significant genre through which these early authors made sense of social and political relations in the nation.

Author's Preface to the Russian Edition This book is written for advanced students, for predoctoral graduate stu dents, and for professional scientists-mathematicians, physicists, and chemists-who desire to study the foundations of the theory of finite dimensional representations of groups. We suppose that the reader is familiar with linear algebra, with elementary mathematical analysis, and with the theory of analytic functions. All else that is needed for reading this book is set down in the book where it is needed or is provided for by references to standard texts. The first two chapters are devoted to the algebraic aspects of the theory of representations and to representations of finite groups. Later chapters take up the principal facts about representations of topological groups, as well as the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras and their representations. We have arranged our material to help the reader to master first the easier parts of the theory and later the more difficult. In the author's opinion, however, it is algebra that lies at the heart of the whole theory. To keep the size of the book within reasonable bounds, we have limited ourselves to finite-dimensional representations. The author intends to devote another volume to a more general theory, which includes infinite dimensional representations."

Speculative Fictions places Alexander Hamilton at the center of American literary history to consider the important intersections between economics and literature. By studying Hamilton as an economic and imaginative writer, it argues that we can recast the conflict with the Jeffersonians as a literary debate about the best way to explain and describe modern capitalism, and explores how various other literary forms allow us to comprehend the complexities of a modern global economy in entirely new ways. Speculative Fictions identifies two overlooked literary genres of the late eighteenth-century as exemplary of this narrative mode. It asks that we read periodical essays and Black Atlantic captivity narratives with an eye not towards bourgeois subject formation, but as descriptive analyses of economic systems. In doing so, we discover how these two literary genres offer very different portraits of a global economy than that rendered by the novel, the imaginative genre we are most likely to associate with modern capitalism. Developing an aesthetic appreciation for the speculative, digressive, and unsystematic plotlines of these earlier narratives has the capacity to generate new imaginative projects with which to make sense of our increasingly difficult economic world.

BY MRS. D. M. OSGOOD. The storm ceased at midnight? The wave seems to sleep, And the sea-gull flies screaming Away o'er the deep; And Fanchette is waiting At morn on the shore, For the boat that returneth, Returneth no more. Oh, bright flashed the sunlight At morn on her sail And loud in her canvass At night roared the gale; And the maiden waits ever In vain on the shore, For the boat that returneth, Returneth no more. And thus thou art watching, Oh, heart on the sand, For the bark that loosed anchor At morn from the strand? Rich, rich was the lading That fair vessel bore? " Hope, and trust, and affection, That come back no more. HILDEGARDE. A ROMANCE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. " Is this her fault, or mine 1 The tempter, or the tempted, who sins most 1 Ha Not she; nor doth she tempt: but it is I, That lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season."?Shakspeare. CHAPTER I. During the dark and superstitious age of the twelfth century, few persons of religious character, of either sex, maintained a more exalted reputation for piety, or exercised by the aid of prophetic oracles, and miraculous visions, greater ascendancy over the minds of both Germany and Italy, than Hildegarde, Abbess of St. Ruperts, near Bingen, on the Rhine. Her claims were well suited to the age in which she lived. Crowds of persons of all ranks received her decisions as the commands of the most high God. Cardinals and Archbishops bent with obsequious acquiescence to her holy decrees, and even the papal throne, which at that period held the reins of all Europe in its powerful grasp, failed not to further its own ambitious projects by feigning to respect her mysterious and lofty pr...
