Famed for his novels of the American frontier (notably the
Leatherstocking Tales) and of the sea, and also the author of a
large body of social and political writings, James Fenimore Cooper
(1789-1851) received mixed reviews from his contemporaries, who
generally enjoyed the adventure tales but abhored his social
preachings. His posthumous reputation has fluctuated widely.
Savagely trashed by, among others, Mark Twain in 1895 for his
literary offenses, Cooper was resurrected in 1931 by critic Robert
E. Spiller, who viewed him as a profound social critic. By the
mid-twentieth century, Cooper was widely praised as a pioneer in
the development of the American social and political novel, though
his literary qualities remained subject to attack in some quarters.
Cooper has continued to be studied from myriad points of views and
critical stances both as a writer and as a critic. The immense body
of criticism has been carefully channeled in this annotated
bibliography of 1,943 reviews, journal articles, newspaper articles
and editorials, dissertations, and books. The material is organized
in chapters by broad subject category--Bibliography, Biography,
General Studies, Frontier and Indian Novels, Literature of the Sea,
Social and Political Writings, and Miscellaneous Publications;
where appropriate the chapters are subdivided according to
individual Cooper publications, with further divisions relatings to
materials written before and after Cooper's death. This
arrangement, together with a fascinating introductory survey of his
critical reception and full author, and editor, and subject
indexes, allows the researcher to trace the various topics and
themes that have occupied a who's who of literary, intellectual,
and social critics from 1820 to the present.
