Description
Edgar Huntly, Or, Memoirs of a Sleepwalker is a 1799 novel by Charles Brockden Brown. The story revolves around sleepwalking, which plays a significant role in the plot. A sleepwalker, Huntly, first notices another sleepwalker, Clithero, near an Elm tree, leading him to investigate further. This encounter sets off a chain of events as Huntly follows Clithero into a cave, where he becomes trapped and must find his way back home. As the novel progresses, Huntly's sleepwalking episodes become more frequent, causing concern for those around him. He wakes up in a cave with no memory of how he got there, leading to a search for missing papers that were misplaced during one of his nocturnal wanderings. The mystery unfolds as Huntly tries to return home and uncover the truth about Clithero's activities. Ultimately, Huntly overcomes his sleepwalking troubles, bringing an end to the suspenseful journey.
