The Concept of „Station“ in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Headsman
Original language description
The paper analyzes James Fenimore Cooper’s conception of station and its relation to nature and the principle of equality through the prism of his third “European” novel, The Headsman (1833). Cooper’s novels open up the possibility of “natural” social mobility but their resolutions, surprisingly, close this possibility down, unlike his political essays, and reaffirm the social hierarchy. This tendency is most evident in the marriage policies. While this is a hard fact in the fictional world, it is necessary to interpret such conservative endings as a critique of a system which is fundamentally opposed to social mobility and where social inqual marriages would be only an exception from the ruler.
