Romancing the Indian: Sentimentalizing and Demonizing in Cooper and Twain
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/HNS/Indians/main.html
“Representations of American Indians in nineteenth-century American literature were seldom culturally relative. Instead, the author often encoded in the American Indian caricature (“caricature” because these are rarely well-developed characters) his or her assumptions based on racial stereotypes, making the caricature a metonym for all AmericanIndians.”
Contains: Criticism, Commentary
Author: Rissetto, Adriana
