Emphasizing Mark TwainвЂ™s ambitions and achievements as a writer, this introduction features close readings of his seven major works, including Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Connecticut Yankee and PuddвЂ™nhead Wilson. It locates these texts in the larger contexts of Samuel ClemensвЂ™ life and of late nineteenth-century American culture, investigating what the fictional persona of Mark Twain meant to the real-life person, Samuel Clemens, and what TwainвЂ™s books meant to contemporary Americans.

The book provides both a general introduction to TwainвЂ™s major texts and an original reading of his obsession with performance and personality. It is illustrated with images from early editions of TwainвЂ™s works. A short appendix directs readers to the authorвЂ™s award-winning website, ''Mark Twain in his Times,'' where they can explore the texts and issues analyzed in the book further.
