Book Description
This insightful biography offers a comprehensive look at the life and works of James Fenimore Cooper, an esteemed American writer of the early 19th century. Cooper's historical romances, which depicted the lives of colonial and indigenous characters from the 17th to 19th centuries, brought him great fame and fortune. Growing up in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father, William Cooper, he attended Yale University before joining the U.S. Navy as a midshipman. His experiences at sea greatly influenced his writing, particularly his novels about the American frontier, including the iconic 'Leatherstocking Tales', which featured the beloved character Natty Bumppo.

Book Description
A definitive new biography of James Fenimore Cooper, early nineteenth century master of American popular fiction American author James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851) has been credited with inventing and popularizing a wide variety of genre fiction, including the Western, the spy novel, the high seas adventure tale, and the Revolutionary War romance. America’s first crusading novelist, Cooper reminds us that literature is not a cloistered art; rather, it ought to be intimately engaged with the world. In this second volume of his definitive biography, Wayne Franklin concentrates on the latter half of Cooper’s life, detailing a period of personal and political controversy, far-ranging international travel, and prolific literary creation. We hear of Cooper’s progressive views on race and slavery, his doubts about American expansionism, and his concern about the future prospects of the American Republic, while observing how his groundbreaking career management paved the way for later novelists to make a living through their writing. Franklin offers readers the most comprehensive portrait to date of this underappreciated American literary icon.
