Called a ""remarkable story"" by John Greenleaf Whittier and described by John Keats as ""very powerful,"" Wieland, Charles Brockden Brown's disturbing 1798 tale of terror, is a masterpiece involving spontaneous combustion, disembodied voices, religious mania, and a gruesome murder based on a real-life incident.

This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes Wieland's fragmentary sequel, Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist, as well as several other important but hard-to-find Brockden Brown short stories, including ""Thessalonica,"" ""Walstein's School of History,"" and ""Death of Cicero."" This collection also reproduces the newspaper account of the murder that inspired Wieland.
