The hunter figure appears in a variety of American literary texts and cultural contexts from colonial times to the present. Initially, he reflects rebellion against European aristocracy and then the growing independent spirit of the new nation. His power derives from his skill to survive and thrive in the vast American landscape. However, the hunter is a liminal figure who traverses opposing worlds of wilderness and civilization. He belongs partly in each world, making him at once privileged and marginal. As the nation grows the hunter figure suggests shifts in the locus of power. Specifically, over time he represents the power to create the new nation, to develop it, to expand its power across the continent and the globe, to transcend degenerate forces that threaten it, and ultimately the power for any American, male or female, to reinvent and define his or her identity.
The Author: Lynda Wolfe Coupe is an English professor with a passion for hunting. She received her Ph.D. in English from the Graduate School of the City of New York. She teaches literature, speech, and writing in the Department of Literature, Communication, and Journalism at Pace University and is the Assistant Director of Adult Services. Dr. Coupe has also published numerous poems. Combining her professional expertise with her enthusiasm for the hunting life, she has successfully linked these two interests.
