The Spy Cooper broke new ground by using an American Revolutionary War setting (based partly on the experiences of his wife’s British loyalist family) and by introducing several distinctively American character types. Like Scott’s novels of Scotland, The Spy is a drama of conflicting loyalties and interests in which the action mirrors and expresses more subtle internal psychological tensions. ]]> 2018-11-02 16:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299861123 1100279857 https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299861902 The Spy soon brought him international fame and a certain amount of wealth. ]]> 2018-11-02 16:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299861902 1100279857 https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299862430 Both Cooper and his public were fascinated by the Leatherstocking character.  He was encouraged to write a series of sequels in which the entire life of the frontier scout was gradually unfolded.]]> 2018-11-02 16:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299862430 1100279857 https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299862901 The Last of the Mohicans (1826) takes the reader back to the French and Indian wars of Natty’s middle age, when he is at the height of his powers.]]> 2018-11-02 16:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299862901 1100279857 https://padlet.com/1100279857/d3uxdk56p0b5/wish/299863076 The Prairie (1827) in which, now very old and philosophical, Leatherstocking dies, facing the westering sun he has so long followed.
