Description
Offers students bridges to James Fenimore Cooper’s novels, which grapple with complex moral issues that are still crucial today. Engaging with film adaptations, cross-culturalism, animal studies, media history, environmentalism, and Indigenous American poetics, the essays offer new ways to bring these novels to life in the classroom.
Brings back into view one of the most significant American authors of the nineteenth century." —Shirley Samuels, Cornell University
