    About The Two Admirals

    "The Two Admirals" by James Fenimore Cooper is a nautical fiction novel published in 1842. Set in the 18th-century British Royal Navy, this sea tale emerged from Cooper's publisher encouraging another maritime adventure. Though Cooper's daughter later called it his least successful sea romance, modern critics recognize it as one of his deepest explorations of masculinity. The novel stands among only three of Cooper's works that he chose to revise after their initial printing.
