The Hutted Knoll - Historical Novel Set during the American Revolution

Beschreibung

This carefully crafted ebook: "WYNADOTTÉ (Historical Novel)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Wyandotté is a historical novel set during the American Revolution and tells the story of a derelict Indian "Saucy Nick", also called Wyandotté ("Great Chief"), in the remote woods of upstate New York, who stands between a small group of settlers and an Indian tribe that want to slaughter them. Wyandotté's depictions violate stereotypes of Native Americans and novel rejects the more established history of the New York border war during the Revolution. James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Before embarking on his career as a writer, Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.

Autor

James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a preeminent figure in early American literature, best known for his historical romances that captured the frontier spirit with a mix of adventure and moral allegory. Born in Burlington, New Jersey, Cooper grew up in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father, William Cooper. His most enduring works are the Leatherstocking Tales, a series of five novels including 'The Last of the Mohicans,' which have come to define the American Romantic period. Cooper's rich depictions of the natural wilderness and the complex interactions between Native Americans and European settlers found an eager audience both domestically and abroad. However, his works extend beyond the Leatherstocking Tales; 'Wynadotté' is another example of Cooper's ability to weave together elements of the frontier experience into narrative form. This lesser-known novel, published in 1843, showcases Cooper's ongoing interest in the American landscape and social dynamics at the borders of civilization. Cooper's literary style is noted for its formal language and extensive detail, which can sometimes challenge modern readers but reflects his commitment to describing early American life with authenticity. While his reputation has fluctuated over time, Cooper's influence on American literature and his role in shaping the nation's narrative cannot be overstated.
