| dc.description.abstract | This study focuses upon James Fenimore Cooper's Gleanings in Europe: England, a travel book describing his residence in England. Despite the recent critical attention focused on the novels of Cooper, this work remains neglected or relegated to brief, perfunctory, and incomplete analysis. However, this richly descriptive and analytical account of landscapes, manners, social arenas, and unfamiliar governments reveals some of the dominant concerns of Cooper's social criticism and aggressive patriotism. The purpose of this study, then, is to demonstrate the ways in which Cooper reveals his own individual prescription for the future growth of a rapidly expanding America. | |
