Yearning to 'Break Their Yoke in Ireland': Robert Emmet, Irish American Republicanism, and Charles Brockden Brown
Contrary to readings of Brown's early novels that understand him as viewing the Irish as \"savage\" or \"alien,\" this essay examines his depiction of the Irish over the course of his career in his political pamphlets, periodical publications, and editing against the Irish struggle for liberty and independence from England. It argues that court speeches like those of Robert Emmet in 1803 circulated in American print culture and inspired William Duane, Brown, and others to publish material that was sympathetic to the Irish cause. While Brown's understanding of the British \"yoke\" of oppression may be seen as originating with his lived experience during the American Revolution, it evolves over time in his fiction, his political pamphlet An Address to the United States (1803), his Literary Magazine and American Register (1803–7), his American Register: A Repository of History, Politics, and Science (1807–9), and his Address to Congress in 1809. The ability to search Brown's larger corpus of writing electronically alongside databases like Readex's America's Historical Newspapers (1690–1922) invites similar study of other authors, such as Hugh Henry Bracken-ridge, whose writings contain depictions of the Irish or Ireland, and highlights the ways digital analysis of archival materials can map textual traces of sentiment or ideology into larger patterns of meaning.
