Criminologists on Terrorism and Homeland Security

Imprisonment in Four Countries

Charles Brockden Brown

Theodore Wieland hears mysterious voices. Are these the result of delusions, ventriloquism, or divine forces? In this Gothic thriller, novelist Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) portrays a man beset by religious guilt which erupts into mania, making him an extreme danger to others. Brown's fascination with the scientifically bizarre and the macabre was a great influence on 19th century authors Hawthorne and Poe. 263 pp. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
