{"product_id":"arthur-mervyn-charles-brockden-brown-9781438526683","title":"Arthur Mervyn","description":"Charles Brockden Brown was America's first professional novelists. His best-known novel was Wireland of the Transformation. Brown's startlingly prophetic novels are a virtual resume of themes that would constantly recur in American literature: madness and murder, suicide and religious obsession, the seduction of innocence and the dangers of wilderness. Arthur Mervyn is set during a yellow-fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793. In Arthur Mervyn, Brown draws on his own experiences to create indelible scenes of Philadelphia devastated by a yellow fever epidemic, while telling the story of a young man caught in the snares of a professional swindler. Arthur Mervyn is discovered by Dr. Stevens sitting on a bench. He is suffering from yellow fever, and since Dr. Stevens pities him he is invited into the Stevens household. This is his story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Brockden Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438526687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438526683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Jungle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.81d","brand":"Charles Brockden Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43934983880959,"sku":"9781438526683","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_be70f236-fc55-4b59-ab95-912f1f4e1dbe.jpg?v=1681417180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arthur-mervyn-charles-brockden-brown-9781438526683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
