Описание: After joining a ragtag militia of small-town acquaintances at the outbreak of the Civil War, Samuel Clemens soon discovered he had little aptitude for military life. He left the ranks in haste; in the same fateful spring of 1861, his brother Orion had been appointed secretary of the new western territory of Nevada. With arrest for his desertion looming, and no other promising vocation at hand, Clemens climbed aboard the westbound stagecoach with Orion at St. Joseph, Missouri on July 26. The brothers endured 21 long days on the trails heading over the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, to the Great Salt Lake and the Great Basin deserts, before finally arriving in Carson City, Nevada Territory. Drawn by the promise of silver riches from the nearby Comstock mine, Clemens soon found buying claims and digging for ore to be an uncertain proposition. In the meantime, he amused himself by writing short contributions to the local newspaper, the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. Although the writing profession had never struck Clemens as a particularly worthy career, Enterprise business manager William Barstow was so taken with Clemens' work that he offered a permanent, salaried position as a local reporter, at $25 a week. Facing a serious lack of funds, Clemens negotiated, and then accepted After a discouraging first day, in which he tramped all over Virginia City and found nothing to write about, Clemens discovered that news eventually came without much prompting through his network of barroom friends and street-corner acquaintances. He wrote up tragic saloon shoot-outs, elegant hotel balls, deadly Indian fights, mining scams, the monotonous proceedings of the territorial legislature, and strange finds in the western desert, including the petrified corpse of a forlorn prospector: the author's first public hoax. Adopting the pen name of Mark Twain, his writing found a ready audience far beyond the borders of Nevada, eventually developing a national audience for his trademark keen observation, comic sensibility and sardonic, common-sense outlook. In Nevada: Journalism 1862-1964, the latest historical journalism collection from The Archive, includes hundreds of Mark Twain's most intriguing short articles from the Territorial Enterprise and other papers, complete and unabridged. Through these pieces, readers will enjoy street-level western history through the eyes of a renowned and timeless American author.

Описание: Mark Twain among the Indians and Other Indigenous Peoples is the first book-length study of the writer's evolving views regarding the aboriginal inhabitants of North America and the Southern Hemisphere, and his deeply conflicted representations of them in fiction, newspaper sketches, and speeches. Using a wide range of archival materials--including previously unexamined marginalia in books from Clemens's personal library--Driscoll charts the development of the writer's ethnocentric attitudes about Indians and savagery in relation to the various geographic and social milieus of communities he inhabited at key periods in his life, from antebellum Hannibal, Missouri, and the Sierra Nevada mining camps of the 1860s to the progressive urban enclave of Hartford's Nook Farm. The book also examines the impact of Clemens's 1895-96 world lecture tour, when he traveled to Australia and New Zealand and learned firsthand about the dispossession and mistreatment of native peoples under British colonial rule. This groundbreaking work of cultural studies offers fresh readings of canonical texts such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Roughing It, and Following the Equator, as well as a number of Twain's shorter works.

Описание: The unique contribution of this book is the focus upon the testimony of Twain`s audience as a unique "reading community"-how his fiction intersected with their real lives, how he impacted American publishing, literacy, and educational reform, and how Americans loved the theatricality and humor that Twain brought to their lives.

Описание: One of the greatest American authors, Mark Twain holds a special position not only as a distinctly American cultural icon but also as a preeminent portrayer of youth. His famous writings about children and youthful themes are central to both his work and his popularity. The distinguished contributors to Mark Twain and Youth make Twain even more accessible to modern readers by fully exploring youth themes in both his life and his extensive writings. The volume’s twenty-six original essays offer new perspectives on such important subjects as Twain’s boyhood; his relationships with his siblings and his own children; his attitudes toward aging, gender roles, and slavery; the marketing, reception, teaching, and adaptation of his works; and youth themes in his individual novels--Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, Pudd'nhead Wilson, and Joan of Arc. The book also includes a revealing foreword by actor Hal Holbrook, who has performed longer as “Mark Twain” than Samuel Clemens himself did. The book includes contributions by: Lawrence Berkove, John Bird, Jocelyn A. Chadwick, Joseph Csicsila, Hugh H. Davis, Mark Dawidziak, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, James Golden, Alan Gribben, Benjamin Griffin, Ronald Jenn, Holger Kersten, Andrew Levy, Cindy Lovell, Karen Lystra, Debra Ann MacComb, Peter Messent, Linda A.

Описание: Abolishing White Masculinity from Mark Twain to Hiphop examines white American male literature for its social commentary on the construction of whiteness in the United States. Whiteness has always been a contested racial identity in the U.S., one in a state of construction and reconstruction throughout critical cultural and historical moments. This text examines how white American male writers have grappled with understanding themselves and their audiences as white beings. Abolishing White Masculinity from Mark Twain to Hiphop specifically brings a critical whiteness approach to American literary criticism and strengthens the growing interdisciplinary field of critical whiteness studies in the humanities. Critical whiteness studies shifts the attention from solely examining people and perspectives of color in race discourse to addressing whiteness as an essential component of race ideology. The primary contribution of this perspective is in how whites construct and see whiteness, for the larger purpose of exploring the possibilities of how they may come to no longer construct and see themselves through whiteness. Understanding this is at the heart of contemporary discussions of post-raciality. Abolishing White Masculinity from Mark Twain to Hiphop uses the following texts as canonical case studies: Puddn'head Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins by Mark Twain, The Great Gatsby and The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Angry Black White Boy and The End of the Jews by Adam Mansbach. Each underscores the dialectic of formation, deformation, and reformation of whiteness at specific socio-historical moments based upon anxieties about race possessed by whites and highlighted by white fictionists. The selected writers ultimately serve dually as co-constructors of whiteness and social critics of their times through their literature.
