James Fenimore Cooper was one of America’s most socially engaged authors. His treatises Notions of the Americans (1828) and The American Democrat (1838) make this involvement plain, as do such fictions as Home As Found (1838) and The Redskins (1845), both of which treat democratic excesses in New York State. Several of his adventure tales too address contemporary social themes, albeit less explicitly. His sea tales begin as venues for swashbuckling and displays of seacraft (The Pilot, 1824) but soon feature ships that, as Thomas Philbrick has noted, constitute social microcosms.1 Jacksonian America emerges, for instance, as the gale-lashed packet in Homeward Bound (1838), whose upstart democrats affront the more genteel passengers. Several of Cooper’s frontier tales likewise mull contemporary concerns. I have argued elsewhere that The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), and The Pathfinder (1840) allegorize nineteenth-century American racial and political dilemmas.2 The Deerslayer (1841) directly critiques rapacity and racial prejudice in colonial America, previewing a Republic in whose slave economy both evils would entwine. Cooper, this essay suggests, revisits these themes with new urgency born of the times in his penultimate fiction, The “‘We are at the end of Ameriky. . . .’”
James Fenimore Cooper是美国最热衷于社交的作家之一。他的著作《美国人的观念》(1828年)和《美国民主党人》(1838年)清楚地表明了这种参与,《发现的家园》(1833年)和“红皮人”(1845年)等小说也是如此,这两部小说都处理了纽约州的民主过度。他的一些冒险故事也涉及当代社会主题,尽管不那么明确。他的航海故事一开始是炫耀和展示航海技术的场所(《领航员》,1824年),但很快就出现了船只,正如托马斯·菲尔布里克所指出的,这些船只构成了社会的缩影。1例如,在《回家》(1838年)中,杰克逊时代的美国出现在狂风肆虐的包裹中,其暴发户民主党人冒犯了更优雅的乘客。库珀的一些前沿故事同样也考虑到了当代人的担忧。我在其他地方也说过,《最后的莫西干人》(1826年)、《草原》(1827年)和《开拓者》(1840年)寓言了19世纪美国的种族和政治困境。这篇文章表明,库珀在他的倒数第二部小说《我们在美国的尽头……》中,以新的时代紧迫感重新审视了这些主题

Melville, as he always does, began to reason of Providence and futurity, and of everything that lies beyond human ken, and informed me that he had “pretty much made up his mind to be annihilated”; but still he does not seem to rest in that anticipation; and, I think, will never rest until he gets hold of a definite belief. It is strange how he persists—and has persisted ever since I knew him, and probably long before—in wandering to-and-fro over these deserts, as dismal and monotonous as the sand hills amid which we were sitting. He can neither believe, nor be comfortable in his unbelief; and he is too honest and courageous not to try to do one or the other.1
