Book Review

Essays on Nature and Landscape. By Susan Fenimore Cooper. Edited by Rochelle Johnson and Daniel Patterson. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2002. xxxiv + 131 pp. Notes, index. Cloth $45.00, paper $19.95.

Susan Fenimore Cooper, daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, wrote and published a novel, essays, and family memoirs in the mid- to late nineteenth century. Well-educated, proficient in four languages, and a keen observer, Cooper used rural and natural history themes for much of her work. Her best known book, Rural Hours, describing a year of life in the Otsego Lake region of New York and originally published in 1850, went through many reprintings; she also published revised editions in 1868 and 1887. Recently, environmental historians and scholars looking at American nature writing have turned again to Cooper's work. Johnson and Patterson, both English professors, edited a new unabridged edition of Rural Hours (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1998) and some of Cooper's other writings as well as Essays on Nature and Landscape.
