The Bravo
''The Bravo'' is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1831 in three volumes. Inspired by a trip to Europe where he traveled through much of Italy, the novel is set in Venice. ''The Bravo'' is the first of Cooper's three novels to be set in Europe.〔 This group of three novels, which one critic would call Cooper's "European trilogy", include ''The Heidenmauer'' and ''The Headsman''. Like his other novels set in Europe, ''The Bravo'' was not very well received in the United States. The book largely focuses on political themes, especially the tension between the social elite and other classes.
==Background==
In 1829-1830, Cooper toured Italy with his wife and family. Starting in Florence, where he spent considerable time absorbing the Tuscan culture, Cooper departed on a sailing trip around Italy, visiting many historic cities including Genoa Marseilles and much of Southern Italy. In Sorrento, Cooper finished ''Water Witch'', after which, he again departed, sailing again through the Adriatic. Upon reaching Venice, Cooper was so struck by the architecture that he was inspired to write the novel that would become ''The Bravo''.
