“The Silence Surrounding the Hut”: Architecture and Absence in Wieland

“The Silence Surrounding the Hut”: Architecture and Absence in Wieland analyzes the role of architecture and physical space in Wieland by Charles Brockden Brown. The article explores how structures such as huts, houses, and isolated spaces symbolize psychological tension, secrecy, and absence within the novel. It examines the relationship between architecture, silence, fear, and identity in early American Gothic literature. The study argues that empty or marginal spaces in the novel reflect deeper anxieties about family, religion, communication, and social instability in the early United States.
