[This is a transcript of an RTF lecture that was delivered as part of the “Storytelling, Myth-making and the Shaping of Universal History” Symposium.] So the subject of this class, as the title would suggest, is on James Fenimore Cooper’s ‘The Bravo,’ and I am sure many people here are probably aware of James Fenimore Cooper and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are also many who are not. Fenimore was actually one of the most prominently read literary writers in the world during his time. What’s interesting is that we all know the German, British and Russian classical culture names that come to mind, such as Shakespeare, Schiller, Goethe and Pushkin, but who comes to mind for America?
Thanks so much for that rich history. I have witnessed my local library spend millions on a new wing and renovation but I can rarely find any basic collection of the classics as they all say their new lending system is so wonderful. I am overwhelmed by how much I've missed, want my money back from my higher? education while at the same time more motivated now to set it right as best I can.
His book is about the history of debt, but it is also about the history of Rome with information I was unaware of, from a perspective I had not examined,
I find it strange that you count the American side victorious in the war of 1812. They were not. Nor did they win victory in the peace treaty that ended it. The only way to see a victory for America was to look exclusively at Andy Jackson's victory at New Orleans which happened after the war was settled.
I got this on your husbands account. Is this also on Minds? I'll put it there. 3,2,1 done. So long of a wait for you I know, but for me, it is later.
I was thinking, since Minds scrolls down, into the past, so to speak, that it'd be good to post the article first, then give it a few minutes until posting just the first box quote, like a preview. "Iffin` the reader (because Minds is filled with readers) grunt~nods at the box text, that reader will be more likely to find out what the text major has to offer."

They're losing which is why their desperate acts are accelerating. If they are lucky someone or some thing will reel them in before it goes nuclear.
So the modern idea of liberty thousands of year old still ascending , clearly very relevant today. What can we do about this using theatre.?
Thanks for the history lesson!
It’s depth is astounding.
This is what Mark Twain said about James Fenimore Cooper. He was not
a fan. https://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl368/fenimorecooper.pdf
On Rome the best recent book I have read on Rome, and one that exposed me to knowledge I was unaware of, is Michael Hudson's The Collapse of Antiquity. https://heininger.substack.com/p/the-collapse-of-antiquity-michael

I think Mark Twain had the best comments on James Fenimore Cooper. https://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl368/fenimorecooper.pdf
