Mark Twain, A Literary Life

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title

"Mark Twain endures. Readers sense his humanity, enjoy his humor, and appreciate his insights into human nature, even into such painful experiences as embarrassment and humiliation. No matter how remarkable the life of Samuel Clemens was, what matters most is the relationship of Mark Twain the writer and his writings. That is the subject of this book."—from the Preface

In Mark Twain, A Literary Life, Everett Emerson revisits one of America's greatest and most popular writers to explore the relationship between the life of the writer and his writings. The assumption throughout is that to see Mark Twain's writings in focus, one must give proper attention to their biographical context.

Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2: The Complete and Authoritative Edition (Volume 11)
July 10, 2022
Volume two of the Complete and Authoritative Edition of Mark Twain's massive autobiography, and like the first, it is worth the commitment. Though various editions of Twain’s Autobiography have been published throughout the years, this three volume edition is the first to actually be published according to the instructions its author left. (And that includes the stipulation that it not be published until 100 years after his death.)

Mark Twain designed a unique technique for his autobiography. He abandoned chronological order, and simply told stories from his life and work as they popped into his head, in no particular order. He dictated much of it, often with his biographer present as audience.
