Closing a novel on a wedding is the formulaic ending of most popular 19th century fictions. Yet, when it comes to Cooper’s and Sedgwick’s historical romances the final union is loaded with a symbolical meaning.

However, the unifying discourse of national concord superimposed on the heroes’ happy end covers up diverging paths: the eulogy of both spinsters and bachelors and the possibility of miscegenation eventually tends to blur the harmony showcased in the epilogue. |
