Product Description
A terrifying account of the fallibility of the human mind and, by extension, of democracy itself, Wieland brilliantly reflects the psychological, social, and political concerns of the early American republic. In the fragmentary sequel,Memoirs, Brown explores Carwin’s bizarre history as a manipulated disciple of the charismatic utopian Ludloe.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Annie the Superfast Reader (USA: NY) (2006/10/09):
An early American novel that is also an early Gothic novel. You are likely to enjoy this if you like the Brontes or Wilkie Collins, though keep in mind that this came 100 years earlier and lacks the depth (and length!) of these books.
