Isaac Mitchell
Isaac Mitchell (1759-1812) was an American author and journalist, best known today as the author of the Gothic novel ''The Asylum, or Alonzo and Melissa''.
==The Asylum==
''The Asylum'' was a popular work of Gothic fiction, and has been called "the single most popular Gothic novel in early America." It was first serialized in the ''Political Barometer'', Mitchell's Poughkeepsie, New York newspaper, in 1804, and then expanded published in book form in 1811. It was then almost completely plagiarized in an edition attributed to Daniel Jackson, Jr., under whose name many copies were sold in the 19th century. Mitchell died before he could file suit against Jackson.
The pirated Jackson version went through at least twenty-five printings in the 19th century, and was a good seller into the early 20th century.〔Davidson, Cathy N. (Revolution and the Word: The Rise of the Novel in America ), pp. 322-27 (2004 ed.)〕 In ''Life on the Mississippi'' (1883), Mark Twain identifies the book (referred to as ''Alonzo and Melissa'' as was common) as one that is still widely read, though most 19th century readers only read the second volume.〔
