Description
On his return to America in 1833, Cooper was dismayed with what he viewed to be a lack of moral progress on behalf of his fellow Americans. He observed that people had grown afraid to criticize anything American and that society seemed only interested in material wealth. Cooper argued that young American men were growing physically and mentally lazy. "Home as Found" was Cooper’s attempt to inspire something better in the American public. In this historical volume of his essays on America, the author shares his poignant views on the duties of literary men, the merits of frankness and the need for reviving a provincial spirit in American society.
