Littery Man
As Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens became one of America's first modern celebrities, successfully straddling the conflicts between culture and commerce. Twain manipulated the cultural outlets of his day, not only through publication of his diverse novels, but through newspapers, magazines, book reviews, advertising, and his popular performances and readings. In Littery Man, Richard Lowry examines a range of Twain's major works to show how the writer s…

Mark Twain's Public Private Correspondence
somebody may be reading this letter 80 years hence. And so, my friend (you pitying snob, I mean, who are holding this yellow paper in your hand in 1960,) save yourself the trouble of looking further; I know how pathetically trivial our small concerns will seem to you, and I will not let your eye profane them. No, I keep my news; you keep your compassion. Suffice it you to know, scoffer and ribald, that the little child is old and blind, now, and …

Mark Twain
After laughing their way through his classic and beloved depictions of nineteenth-century American life, few readers would suspect that Twain's last years were anything but happy and joyful. They would be wrong. As Hamlin Hill reveals in Mark Twain: God's Fool, contrary to the myth perpetrated by his literary executors, Twain ended his life as a frustrated writer plagued by paranoia. He suffered personal tragedies, got involved in questionable bu…

The Composition and the Structure of Tom Sawyer
T HE STRUCTURE OF The Adventures of has for some time marked a point of divergence among Twain scholars. Walter Blair's study On the Structure of Sawyer suggested that the book was organized as the story of a boy's maturation, presented to the reader through four lines of action-the and Becky story, the Muff Potter story, the Jackson's Island adventure, and the Injun Joe story-each of which begins with an immature act and ends with a relatively m…
Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the Origins of Rome
The Roman Antiquities of Dionysius of Halicarnassus is often dismissed as a mere slavish panegyric of Rome, written with no other purpose but to persuade her Greek subjects to acquiesce in her domination. Thus Schwartz, in his Pauly-Wissowa article (v, 934 f.), after describing the work as ‘ein trauriges Dokument dafür, wie tief die geistige Potenz noch mehr als die Bildung der Griechen gesunken war’, accuses Dionysius not only of incompetence as…
