Summary "Home as Found" by James Fenimore Cooper is a novel written in the late 19th century. It serves as a sequel to Cooper's earlier work "Homeward Bound," continuing the themes of understanding American society and character through the lives of its protagonists, particularly Mr. Effingham's family and their relationships. The book likely explores the complexities of returning home after time spent abroad, as well as the contrasts between American and European social structures. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Eve Effingham, who returns to New York to manage her father's large household and reconnect with her cousin, Grace Van Cortlandt. Their reunion is tinged with both joy and anxiety due to the passage of time and their differing experiences. The early conversations between Eve and Grace reveal their awareness of social distinctions and the challenges of American provincialism. As Eve navigates her new environment, the text hints at larger critiques of American society, from issues of class to the nature of success and the characteristics of prominent figures such as Mr. Bragg, the land agent. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal dynamics intertwined with the broader cultural landscape of America during that era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
