James Fenimore Cooper versus the Cult of Domesticity: Progressive Themes of Femininity and Family in the Novels
Signe O. Wegener
Between 1820 and 1860 the ""Cult of Domesticity"" sought to maintain a status quo of piety, purity, obedience and domesticity in female behavior. Prominent male writer James Fenimore Cooper reacted, addressing the predominant cultural climate through texts that establish women as an integral part of the plot line.
