Descriere

RURAL HOURS (1850) is one of the earliest pieces of American nature writing and the first by a woman--the daughter of James Fenimore Cooper--who reveals her ideal society as a rural one, carefully poised between the receding wilderness and a looming industrialization. This first full printing since 1876 restores passages earlier deleted.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Nature and the mid nineteenth-century American landscape is beautifully revealed in this journal of the seasons. Susan Fenimore Cooper, daughter of the great American novelist, wrote this book in 1850, four years before Walden was published. She described it as her "simple record of those little events which make up the course of the seasons in rural life". As with the work of Thoreau and others in this contemplative genre, including that of Joseph Wood Krutch and Henry Besten, Cooper's work, with its treasury of information about a way of life of which only remnants remain, is for the nature lover, the folklorist, and history buff.
