Book Synopsis

Although often overlooked today, James Fenimore Cooper''s novels represent the very beginnings of American literature. Singlehandedly, the gentleman farmer from upstate New York created the American historical, spy, sea, frontier, science fiction, and courtroom novels. His books became both national and international bestsellers, were quickly translated into other languages, and impacted the development of the American publishing industry.

This literary companion is a useful resource covering the major themes, characters, settings and more found in Cooper''s works. It includes an overview of his fiction; a brief biography; a chronological list of his major publications; and topics for discussion, research, and study.
