Lionel Lincoln
''Lionel Lincoln'' is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in 1825. Set in the American Revolutionary War, the novel follows Lionel Lincoln, a Boston-born American of British noble descent who goes to England and returns a British soldier, and is forced to deal with the split loyalties in his family and friends to the American colonies and the British homeland. At the end of the novel, he returns to England with his wife Cecil, another American born cousin.
The novel was originally conceived as part of a 13 volume series of historical novels by Cooper; however, he was generally dissatisfied with his work as a historical novelist. Both contemporary and modern critics regard the novel as one of the poorest novels written by Cooper.
==Background==
After the success of ''The Spy'', ''The Pioneers'', and ''The Pilot'', Cooper intended to try his hand at historical fiction with a series of 13 novels called '' Legends of the Thirteen Republics'', wishing to reflect on the role of each colony in the revolution in each novel. However, ''Lionel Lincoln'' was the first and last of the novels to be written and published. Generally, Cooper was disappointed with the reception of his novel by the American audience and dissatisfied with his first attempt at historical fiction.〔
