| Abstract | This essay presents a series of documents that detail the metamorphosis of Postl from Catholic priest and Austrian citizen to the "secularized author, political mediator, and American citizen Sealsfield....The presented documents of the camouflaged life of Karl Postl as Charles Sealsfield mirror his private fear and uncertainty as a persecuted political refugee, having illegally violated the vow as priest and the Austrian law of emigration." |
