The subject matter οf cοurse wοrk James Fenimore Cooper – his life and work.
The actuality οf the wοrk. Many fellows and researchers have studied Cooper materials at the Society over the years. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Alan Taylor worked with Cooper's papers for his book, William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic. AAS member Wayne Franklin has already written half of a comprehensive biography of Cooper that is based partly on fellowship research at the Society. Recently fellow and Cooper Edition editor Matthew Sivils has paid attention to Cooper's relationship to the natural world. Fellow Joseph Rezek has written about Cooper in his book on the transatlantic book trade. Local professors at Clark University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, James Elliott and Lance Schachterle (also an AAS member), have worked closely with the Society's Cooper materials for the Cooper Edition for many years. Some of those individuals have contributed their reflections on their work on the Cooper Edition, which may be seen here. In an early essay, Cooper wrote, "We love an interesting fiction, because, however paradoxical the assertion may appear, it addresses our love of truth—not the mere love of facts expressed by true names and dates, but the love of that higher truth, the truth of nature and of principles, which is a primitive law of the human mind...." Cooper may be known for his historical novels, his tales of the sea, of the West, and of Indians, and his non - fiction travel narratives, but his work calls us not only to the past but also to a place and time that exist eternally in the human consciousness.
