Book Synopsis Confederate Bushwhacker by : Jerome Loving
Download or read book Confederate Bushwhacker written by Jerome Loving and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-09-22 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confederate Bushwhacker is a microbiography set in the most important and pivotal year in the life of its subject. In 1885, Mark Twain was at the peak of his career as an author and a businessman, as his own publishing firm brought out not only the U.S. edition of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but also the triumphantly successful Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant. Twenty years after the end of the Civil War, Twain finally tells the story of his past as a deserter from the losing side, while simultaneously befriending and publishing the general from the winning side. Coincidentally, the year also marks the beginning of TwainÕs descent into misfortune, his transformation from a humorist into a pessimist and determinist. Interwoven throughout this portrait are the headlines and crises of 1885Ñblack lynchings, Indian uprisings, anti-Chinese violence, labor unrest, and the death of Grant. The year was at once TwainÕs annus mirabilis and the year of his undoing. The meticulous treatment of this single year by the esteemed biographer Jerome Loving enables him to look backward and forward to capture both Twain and the country at large in a time of crisis and transformation.

Book Synopsis Mark Twain, American Humorist by : Tracy Wuster
Download or read book Mark Twain, American Humorist written by Tracy Wuster and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain, American Humorist examines the ways that Mark Twain’s reputation developed at home and abroad in the period between 1865 and 1882, years in which he went from a regional humorist to national and international fame. In the late 1860s, Mark Twain became the exemplar of a school of humor that was thought to be uniquely American. As he moved into more respectable venues in the 1870s, especially through the promotion of William Dean Howells in the Atlantic Monthly, Mark Twain muddied the hierarchical distinctions between class-appropriate leisure and burgeoning forms of mass entertainment, between uplifting humor and debased laughter, and between the literature of high culture and the passing whim of the merely popular.
Book Synopsis Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 2 by : Mark Twain
Download or read book Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 2 written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: The second volume of this collection follows Clemens from his first days as a resident journalist in California, late in May 1864, through the end of his first full year as a California resident, 1865. In this twenty-month period he wrote most of his work for the San Francisco Golden Era, the Morning Call, the Dramatic Chronicle, and the Californian. He began to publish somewhat more regularly in eastern journals, like the New York Saturday Press and the Weekly Review, and toward the end of the period he started a long assignment as the daily correspondent from San Francisco to the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In November 1865 he published "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog" [no. 119] and by the beginning of 1866 the news of its success with eastern readers had begun to filter back to California. He was on the verge of national and international fame as a humorist.
Book Synopsis Mark Twain's Humor by : David E. E. Sloane
Download or read book Mark Twain's Humor written by David E. E. Sloane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993. The purpose of this volume is to lay out documents which give an estimate of Mark Twain as a humourist in both historical scope and in the analysis of modern scholars. The emphasis in this collection is on how Twain developed from a contemporary humourist among many others of his generation into a major comic writer and American spokesman and, in several more recent essays by younger Twain scholars, the outcomes of that development late in his career. The essays determine how the humor takes on meaning and importance and how the humor works in a number of ways in the literary canon and even in the persona of Mark Twain.
