"In one place in 'Deerslayer,' and in the restricted space of two-thirds of a page, Cooper has scored 114 offenses against literary art out of a possible 115. It breaks the record."

Damn, Twain was platinum mad.

So was Twain right? Did he actually have a point with his critique of Cooper, or did it just boil down to "REALISM IS THE ONLY TRUE LITERATURE, ROMANTICISM SUCKS!"?

Because he is not Thoreau or Whitman. Was I unclear?

Say what you will about Cooper, but Twain puts forth some pretty great rules for writing in that essay.
