Notions of the Americans, in its mixture of description of places and events with political analysis, is essentially a travel book; but Cooper, perhaps due to the rarity of such books about the author's own country at the time, or perhaps to claim greater objectivity, published it under the framing fiction of being written by a European nobleman visiting the United States.
Cooper published, eventually, five volumes of travel writings in epistolary form on his journeys around western Europe, all now available from CSP. This volume (first published with the "Switzerland" volume) relates in part to a journey along the Rhine to Switzerland (Cooper's second visit) but is also much concerned with his friendship with Lafayette.
This, one of Fenimore Cooper's last novels, contains both a remarkable description of Antarctic exploring and one of the author's most direct discussions of religion - a subject which increasingly claims importance in his later fiction.
The Monikins is Fenimore Cooper's most notorious political novel, a fully-developed satire written under the perceptible influence of Gulliver's Travels.
The Crater is a political fable, set on a fictional Pacific island colony and expressing Cooper's opinions of the directions American democracy took in his later life in particularly direct fashion.
This is the last volume of the Littlepage Manuscripts trilogy, narrating the history of three generations of a Dutch-descended American family starting from the mid-eighteenth century. The other volumes are also available from CSP. This novel is notable for being one of Cooper's most straightforward polemics, concerning contemporary unrest over property laws.
This is the first half (the second, Miles Wallingford, is also available from CSP) of one of Fenimore Cooper's novelistic diptychs. Like many of his later novels, the forms of his eary fiction are preserved but with a strong undercurrent of social commentary on the America of his time.
This is the second half (the first, Afloat and Ashore, is also available from CSP) of one of Fenimore Cooper's novelistic diptychs. Like many of his later novels, the forms of his eary fiction are preserved but with a strong undercurrent of social commentary on the America of his time.
This is one of Fenimore Cooper's later military romances, and contains some daring reflections on different levels and kinds of loyalty set in the context of the American War of Independence.
The Two Admirals is a naval tale, but one arguably as much concerned with the nature of political, familial and personal allegiance as with battles at sea.
This is one of Fenimore Cooper's more political novels, an attempt at depiction of the state of American society in his own time as it would appear to an outsider - a kind of travel writing in reverse.
The Heidenmauer is based on a German legend Fenimore Cooper heard while travelling in Europe, and is in part a reflection upon the Lutheran Reformation.
The Bravo is one of the first products of Fenimore Cooper's extended stay in Europe, a novel set in Venice but with heavily political aspects that caused controversy in his native United States.
Lionel Lincoln is set during the American War of Independence, and is interesting for being by an American but narrated chiefly from the British point of view of that conflict.
