Summary

"Intricate Relations charts the development of the novel in and beyond the early republic in relations to these two thematic and intricately connected centers: sexuality and economics. By reading fiction written by Americans between 1789 and 1814 alongside medical theory, political and economic tracts, and pedagogical literature of all kinds, Karen Weyler recreates and illuminates the larger, sometimes opague, cultural context in which novels were written, published, and read."--BOOK JACKET.
