Several basic modes of representation of motion have been identified and explored: natural, demonic, mechanical and technological. The natural and demonic modes arose as literary ontological responses to the mechanical (repetitive) character of modern labor; the technological mode is conceived here as a rare synthesis of the natural mode (skills and talent) and technological know-how. The writers under discussion were Charles Brockden Brown, James Fenimore Cooper, Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne. It has been found out that the general tendency is towards demonization of speed as a result of social and psychological anxieties, only Cooper achieved a synthesis in the technological mode of fast motion."@en .
