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.

Samenvatting

The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757, is a historical action novel published in 1826 by the American writer James Fenimore Cooper. The story centers around the transport of the daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice, and Cora, to safety at Fort William Henry during the French and Indian War. Guided by Major Duncan Heyward, Natty Bumppo (Hawk-eye), Chingachgook, and Uncas (the novel's title character), they fend off attacks by the rival Hurons and their leader Maguas, allied with the French. The action, suspense and drama are nonstop in this classic swashbuckling historical adventure novel.
