Until the appearance of James Grossman's biography in 1949, James Fenimore Cooper's last five novels had received little critical attention. The nineteenth century practically ignored them. Among the critics, Grossman has written the fullest analyses of the individual books. He also has pointed out the strong religious emphasis apparent in several of them. - Donald A. Ringe.
