Description
Wieland; or the Transformation and Memoirs of Carwin, The Biloquist is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue set in rural Pennsylvania in the 1760s. Based on a true crime story, the novel employs Gothic devices and sensational elements, including spontaneous combustion and ventriloquism, to create a thrilling narrative. This early American novel explores themes of power and manipulation, as the story of Carwin the Biloquist unfolds. The unfinished sequel, Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist, provides further insight into Carwin's career as a disciple of the utopist Ludloe. Oxford World's Classics has made this influential work available in a new edition, featuring an accurate text, expert introduction, and valuable notes to enhance your reading experience.
