We assume that early American novelists felt that the international circulation of persons and property was eroding the fantasy of self-enclosure that a world made of property promised to guarantee. This is what one may gather from the sheer percentage of these novels that systematically reversed the logic of property shared by Kant, Malthus, and any number of European intellectuals of the same period. By so dismantling the fantasy of property, the novels of the early republic make it only too clear they were changing the novel form to try out an alternative basis for social relationships. What were they after? What common sense of purpose prompted them to fashion novels that so dispersed persons and their property as to challenge Europe’s fantasy of America as a wasteland awaiting appropriation? Judging by its proliferation in the United States during the period from 1789 through the 1820s, the network novel addressed a felt need on the part of a diverse and scattered readership to imagine such an alternative.
