Hoes van Shelley Fisher Fishkin: Historical Guide to Mark Twain (PDF)

Mark Twain (born Samuel Clemens), a former printer’s apprentice, journalist, steamboat pilot, and miner, remains to this day one of the most enduring and beloved of America’s great writers. Combining cultural criticism with historical scholarship, A Historical Guide to Mark Twain addresses a wide range of topics relevant to Twain’s work, including religion, commerce, race, gender, social class, and imperialism. Like all of the Historical Guides to American Authors, this volume includes an introduction, a brief biography, a bibliographic essay, and an illustrated chronology of the author’s life and times.
