Regarded by many critics as one of the most important early American novelists, Charles Brockden Brown was a writer and thinker of international significance in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. Jane Talbot unfolds as a series of letters between Henry Colden and the title character as they fall in love, travel the world, and resolve to marry despite the objections of family members.
