I guess that speaks to the readers' desire to see what the fuss is about. I wonder if it was true in Cooper's time as well.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-80086004773249444952009-06-10T15:36:34.101-04:002009-06-10T15:36:34.101-04:00It might have kept me from ever writing again.

Of course, that was before, I was, “educated” concerning various writing rules. I’m wondering if there was an element of jealous in Twain’s analysis? What what his motivation to rip Cooper in public? Why not just live in peace. Surely, something set him off.<br /><br />Best Regards, Galen.<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com" rel="nofollow">GalenKindley.com </a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-84244919091530238072009-06-10T07:24:34.074-04:002009-06-10T07:24:34.074-04:00It rather makes me WANT to read Cooper just to see...It rather makes me WANT to read Cooper just to see what Twain is talking about - a sort of reverse or boomerang marketing.
