Mark Twain: The Contemporary Reviews (American Critical Archives)
(This book is the first systematic, comprehensive gatherin...)
This book is the first systematic, comprehensive gathering of the reviews (primarily in the United States and Britain) of Mark Twain's books published up until 1917. The reviews collected here give the reader an unfiltered sense of how Twain's books and his reputation looked to his audience at the time. In addition, by devoting attention to each of Twain's books, this volume moves away from the current, distorting emphasis on a small number of publications and thus provides a broader perspective on Twain's career.

(A comprehensive study of Mark Twain's social and politica...)
A comprehensive study of Mark Twain's social and political attitudes. The author traces the growth of Twain's political and social convictions and thus shows his relationship to the age in which he lived. The work is based on research in the newspapers of the day, personal letters, and other little-known material, as well as intensive analysis of the most relevant works by Twain. The material is presented in a forthright style that moves at a springy pace.
