AMERICAN PROTEUS seeks to explain what it means for Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) to have created out of his life-experiences and encompassing cultural milieu a novel kind of fiction for a new kind of country. As a work of biographical criticism, this study charts the emergence of Brown's authorial voice as it developed throughout an amorphous, multifaceted, and conflicted apprenticeship. This eleven-year period of literary experimentation established the foundation for his brief yet momentous career as a publishing novelist that lasted from 1798 through 1801.

America's first appointed woman missionary kept a journal recording her experiences in a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, religiously pluralistic world. Charlotte Atlee White Rowe's 1815-1822 journal recounts her cross-cultural work among Hindus, Muslims, Eurasians, and Europeans in British India. Most of her entries come from her first years and reveal a ministry being shaped by experience and reflection. An introduction and conclusion sketch her life before and after India. It is a remarkable addition to mission, women's, and Baptist studies.

Lucille was part of a mission to make Governor John Slaton aware of the antisemitism being shown to Leo during his arrest and trial. She paid a heavy price for her courage.
