Summary

Fenimore Cooper — author of The Deerslayer, The Last of the Mohicans, etc — has often been praised, but just as often been criticised for his writing. Mark Twain wrote a funny, vicious little essay on the subject, in which he states: «In one place in 'Deerslayer,' and in the restricted space of two-thirds of a page, Cooper has scored 114 offences against literary art out of a possible 115.»
(Summary by Gesine)
