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."--Amazon.com 600 10 $a Cooper, James Fenimore, $d 1789-1851. 650 0 $a Novelists, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014122.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044736.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170616011040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1BAFDAD02FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
