tailieunhanh - Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchief

"Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchief" was James Fenimore Cooper's first serious attempt at magazine writing, and Graham's Magazine would publish other contributions from him over the next few years, notably a series of biographic sketches of American naval officers, and the novel "Jack Tier; or The Florida Reef" (1846- 1848). Though hardly one of Cooper's greatest works, "Autobiography" remains significant because of: (1) its unusual narrator -- an embroidered pocket-handkerchief -- that is surely the first of its kind; (2) its critique of economic exploitation in France and of the crass commercial climate of ante-bellum America; and, (3) its constant exploration of American social, moral, and cultural. | Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchief 1 Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchief Project Gutenberg Etext Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchief 6 in our series by James Fenimore Coopoer Copyright laws are changing all over the world be sure to check the copyright laws for your country before posting these files Please take a look at the important information in this header.
