Abstract This article argues that the sketchlike patchwork of texts, identities, and histories that make up Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi emerges through the narrative mixing of passengers and pilots. Situating Twain’s Life in relation to Washington Irving’s The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., the article suggests that in the aftermath of slavery, Civil War, and Reconstruction, Twain attempted to define the New (South) against the Old using the genre of the sketch. Concerned as it was with the ruins, relics, and monuments of the nation’s cultural ancestors, Irving’s Sketch-Book p

Abstract: This essay investigates literary interrogations of the term "citizen" in the postbellum United States by looking at Sarah Winnemucca's Life Among the Piutes and Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi . The books, both 1883 memoirs of the West, present different cultural skepticisms towards American claims of citizenship, constitutionally formalized in the Fourteenth Amendment. Winnemucca displays ambivalence towards citizenship because of its unstable inclusion of her Indigenous brethren, concurrently displaying a Native martial disposition (while always mentioning the failures of whit

Abstract:

Public libraries are "accessible canons" for their communities. As part of their efforts to connect people and ideas, librarians purchase classic and bestselling books from "selective," "personal," "nonce," and other canons. They also create bibliographies, professional standards, and other tools that help shape reading habits. Thus libraries embody complex, ongoing processes of canon using and canon forming. This essay illustrates the canonical activities of American public libraries during the early years of the profession. It describes the American Library Association Catalog, local finding

ABSTRACT Missouri's Visitor's Bureau and Chamber of Commerce have dubbed the Mississippi River town to be "America's Hometown" in honor of its most famous citizen, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain. In Hannibal, Tom Sawyer, with what are believed to be his endearing shenanigans and humorous pranks, is presented to tourists, as well as residents, as the ideal boy. Huckleberry Finn, on the other hand, is swept under the rug so as not to burden visitors and/or townspeople with Hannibal's true slaveholding past, and the racism still lingering in the present.

Abstract This article is a critical reevaluation of Mark Twain’s “Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven.” The story is typically regarded as at best a piece of literary miscellany from Twain’s peculiar late period, and at worst a caricature of the religious sentimentalism of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. While these claims have validity, they don’t tell the whole story. It is also a carefully worked-out meditation on a series of questions—belief, mortality, justice, and the quest for the most humane arrangement of life—with which Twain grappled throughout his whole career.

Abstract As the writer known as Mark Twain neared the end of his life and career, the changing circumstances of the nation caused his criticism to sharpen and move from somewhat covert to brutally overt. The ways in which American nationalism and false piety were becoming ever more entwined seemed to have led to an increased infusion of anger within his satire. In the last decade of his life, his satire of American exceptionalism grew sharper with the “The War Prayer” and “To the Person Sitting in Darkness.” The latter, originally an essay published in the North American Review in February 190

Mark Twain, writer of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, lived in the second half of the 19th century. It was a period in which slavery contrasted with the spirit of equality and freedom, the chief ideology of America. After the Civil War, slavery was abolished, but the harmful effects and segregated social atmosphere in which African-Americans were abused persisted. Slavery was the impetus for the Civil War. The war revealed the differences between the South and North, the pursuit of material possessions, and increased conflicts between white people and the successful class and African-Ameri
