A definitive new biography of James Fenimore Cooper, early nineteenth century master of American popular fiction American author James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851) has been credited with inventing and popularizing a wide variety of genre fiction, including the Western, the spy novel, the high seas adventure tale, and the Revolutionary War romance. America’s first crusading novelist, Cooper reminds us that literature is not a cloistered art; rather, it ought to be intimately engaged with the world. In this second volume of his definitive biography, Wayne Franklin concentrates on the latter half of Cooper’s life, detailing a period of personal and political controversy, far-ranging international travel, and prolific literary creation. We hear of Cooper’s progressive views on race and slavery, his doubts about American expansionism, and his concern about the future prospects of the American Republic, while observing how his groundbreaking career management paved the way for later novelists to make a living through their writing. Franklin offers readers the most comprehensive portrait to date of this underappreciated American literary icon.

Der Satiriker Ward ließ keine Gelegenheit aus, die Mitglieder des Dissent bloßzustellen. Damit analysierte er das (Webersche) Junktim von Gläubigkeit und kapitalistischer Effizienz korrekt und stellte es an den Pranger. Diese trotz aller sprachlicher Extravaganzen scharfe Beobachtung galt für seine wunderbaren Beiträge in der eigenhändig verfassten Zeitschrift The London Spy (1697-99) ebenso wie in vielen anderen Beschreibungen gesellschaftlicher Charaktere und der Räume, in denen sie aufeinanderprallten. Nicht Addison oder Steele waren die Begründer des periodischen Schrifttums, sondern Autoren wie Ward.
