In this critical survey of the fiction of James Fenimore Cooper, George Dekker devotes a good deal of attention to Cooper's politics. He also explores the assimilation and development of the historical novel as first perfected by Sir Walter Scott. Cooper's major formal innovations in the field of historical fiction were, like Scott's, something more than mere experiments: they were made because American social and political developments differed radically from those of Scott's Europe and so demanded a different formal expression."--Provided by publisher Subject Cooper, James Fenimore, 1789-1851 -- Knowledge -- Manners and customs SUBJECT Cooper, James Fenimore, 1789-1851 fast Subject Literature and society -- United States -- History -- 19th century Historical fiction, American -- History and criticism Manners and customs in literature.
