| Publisher 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.
