Series Title:
Student Companions to Classic Writers
Reviews:
Literature professor White introduces students and general readers to the major works of American novelist James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851). Each book in the series of The Leather-Stocking Tales gets its own chapter here, as does Cooper's breakthrough novel, The Spy. White also describes Cooper's life and literary accomplishments and discusses the special challenges and rewards his peculiar style creates for readers. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources.

Description:
At the dawn of America's continental empire, James Fenimore Cooper in the early 1800s became the new nation's first major novelist, inaugurating a great period in American literature and bequeathing a number of classic texts including the Leather-Stocking Tales. This
Companion
to Cooper's writings appeals to high school and college students by outlining Cooper's most frequently assigned novels and establishing their historical backgrounds concerning American Indians and the early United States. Two opening chapters review the author's life and accomplishments, and another offers tips for managing Cooper's style and subject matter. Cooper's breakthrough novel
The Spy
(1821), which features George Washington as a major actor, has a chapter of its own. The second half of the
Companion
highlights the Leather-Stocking Tales, with one chapter on the overall saga and five chapters devoted to the individual novels in the series:
The Deerslayer
,
The Last of the Mohicans
,
The Pathfinder
,
The Pioneers
, and
The Prairie
. Altogether this
Companion
shares the spirit of adventure that made Cooper a pioneer of American Romantic literature and his writings a perennial source for ideas and images of Native America, the frontier, and the early modern USA.
