James Fenimore Cooper
James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) grew up at Otsego Hall, his father’s manorial estate near Lake Otsego in upstate New York. Educated at Yale, he spent five years at sea, as a foremast hand and then as a midshipman in the navy. At thirty he was suddenly plunged into a literary career when his wife challenged his claim that he could write a better book that the English novel he was reading to her. The result was
Precaution (1820), a novel of manners. His second book,
The Spy (1821), was an immediate success, and with
The Pioneers (1823) he began his series of Leatherstocking Tales. By 1826 when
The Last of the Mohicans appeared, his standing as a major novelist was clearly established. From 1826 to 1833 Cooper and his family lived and traveled in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. Two of his most successful works,
The Prairie and
The Red Rover, were published in 1827. He returned to Otsego Hall in 1834, and after a series of relatively unsuccessful books of essays, travel sketches, and history, he returned to fiction – and to Leatherstocking – with
The Pathfinder (1840) and
The Deerslayer (1841). In his last decade he faced declining popularity brought on in part by his waspish attacks on critics and political opponents. Just before his death in 1851 an edition of his works led to a reappraisal of his fiction and somewhat restored his reputation as the first of American writers.

Extrait : IL y a, sous un certain rapport, une visible amélioration dans la bonne ville de Manhattan ; elle éclate dans son architecture. Quant à son accroissement, cela ne fait pas question, tandis qu’un grand nombre d’autres villes lui disputent cette prétention au perfectionnement. Un grand développement dans ce qui ne sort pas du médiocre, bien qu’utile et honorable, satisfait rarement le jugement ou le goût ; ceux qui possèdent ces qualités exigent qu’on approche plus près de la perfection. Une ville bâtie en briques rouges, avec des façades de marbre blanc, le tout garni de jalousies vertes, ne peut jamais présenter qu’un faste vulgaire. Ce défaut radical disparaît insensiblement des rues de Manhattan, et les constructeurs modernes comprennent de jour en jour que l’architecture, comme la statuaire, n’admet pas dans les couleurs des contrastes trop tranchés. Horace Walpole nous parle d’un vieux lord, nommé Pembroke, qui avait noirci les yeux des dieux et des déesses dans la fameuse galerie de Witton, et s’enorgueillissait de ce chef-d’œuvre, comme s’il avait été un autre Phidias.
