Great American NovelVOA
•74% Informative
William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy , published anonymously in 1789 , is widely cited as the first American novel.
Outside of Boston society, few would have known or cared if the novel was the first to be published.
Brown was likely more interested in shaping minds than in literary glory.
" The Great American Novel " was coined until the 1860s .
In 1894-95 , editor Arthur W. Brayley of the Bostonian serialized the novel in his magazine.
But after being contacted by Brown 's niece, Brayley published a lengthy correction.
Brown is also the author of several posthumous releases, including the play The Treason of Arnold and the novel Ira and Isabella .
