By reading fiction written by Americans between 1789 and 1814 alongside medical theory, political and economic tracts, and pedagogical literature of all kinds, Karen Weyler recreates and illuminates the larger, sometimes opaque, cultural context in which novels were written, published, and read.In 1799, the novelist Charles Brockden Brown used the evocative phrase "intricate relations" to 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEconomics in literature 606 $aSex$xEconomic aspects 606 $aProperty in literature 606 $aDesire in literature 606 $aSex in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEconomics in literature. 615 0$aSex$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aProperty in literature. 615 0$aDesire in literature. 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a813/.2093553 700 $aWeyler$b Karen Ann$01704722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814224403321 996 $aIntricate relations$94105502 997 $aUNINA
