* [[Acceptable Targets]]: The French.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Magua in ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]''.
* [[Fair for Its Day]]: Surprisingly so, given the time period.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Cooper was the first American author to achieve not just recognition, but also bestselling commercial success in Europe. He was lionized while he lived in France - ''The Last of the Mohicans'' was written in Paris - and influenced not just a number of French, German and British writers who would write (proto-)Westerns modeled on the Leatherstocking Tales, but also for instance [[Balzac]]'s novel ''Les Chouans'' and [[Alexandre Dumas]] père's ''Les Mohicans de Paris''. And Cooper occupies a to American eyes astonishing amount of room in the Soviet and later Russian English Literature syllabus.
* [[Snark Bait]]: [[Mark Twain]]'s [[Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences|essay]] on Cooper's writing style.
* [[Values Dissonance]] Comes up a ''lot''.
