		The Noble Savage may have been a creature of imagination, but the influence of the concept on European thought was likewise very real, especially during the Enlightenment years which culminated with the American and French revolutions.

		The image of the Noble Savage was abstracted from real human beings who became larger than life in European imagination, their mental photographs airbrushed of every pimple inflicted by a complex and sometimes contradictory reality.

	Dickens on 'The Noble Savage'
		Yielding to whichsoever of these agreeable eccentricities, he is a savage – cruel, false, thievish, murderous; addicted more or less to grease, entrails, and beastly customs; a wild animal with the questionable gift of boasting; a conceited, tiresome, blood-thirsty, monotonous humbug.
		It is not the miserable nature of the noble savage that is the new thing: it is the whimpering over him with maudlin admiration, and affecting to regret him, and the drawing of any comparison of advantage between the blemishes of civilisation and the tenor of his swinish life...
		All the noble savage's wars with his fellow-savages (and he takes no pleasure in anything else) are wars of extermination – which is the best thing I know of him, and the most comfortable to my mind when I look at him.

	\| Book Review \| Journal of World History, 15.1 \| The History Cooperative
		Ellingson links the oxymoron "noble savage" to two other myths that have operated dialectically throughout the history of European accounts of cross-cultural encounter: those of the Golden Age and the cannibal.
		He traces the word "nobility" through a variety of texts and discourses, finding it generally to be used to describe savages only in what he calls a "trait-ascriptive" mode (i.e., in relation to specific traits, rather than as an essential quality), or in a relativistic rather than absolutist sense.
		The detectivelike pursuit of the Noble Savage thread, first as absence and then as presence, is engaging; buoyed by a hit-and-miss humor, a generous breadth of quotation that fleshes out context beyond the frame of the argument, and a cheerful admission of partisanship.

	Rousseau's Noble Savage - Not on this Continent
		No matter: according to orthodoxy, all Eurocentric folk stand in the dock accused (falsely) of stealing the land from natives, who, of course, had only ever lived in harmony with it.
		Natives are nature's custodians; there's another fallacy popularized by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's panegyric on the Noble Savage.
		Voltaire was in the know when he said that Rousseau is to philosophers as the ape is to man. Rousseau certainly was uninformed by facts when he described natives as living in unity with nature.
