Published in 1897, this collection of essays includes Twain’s scathing demolishment of the literary pretensions of James Fenimore Cooper, ‘Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offenses, ‘ as well as equally amusing if lighter fare like ‘The Private History of the ‘Jumping Frog’ Story’ and the title essay, an insightful description of his own methods.
