Constructing Mark Twain: New Directions in Scholarship (Mark Twain and His Circle, nr. 1)
Editat de Laura E. Skandera Trombley, Michael J. Kiskisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 07 Nov 2011 – vârsta ani
The
thirteen
essays
in
this
collection
combine
to
offer
a
complex
and
deeply
nuanced
picture
of
Samuel
Clemens.
With
the
purpose
of
straying
from
the
usual
notions
of
Clemens
(most
notably
the
Clemens/Twain
split
that
has
ruled
Twain
scholarship
for
over
thirty
years),
the
editors
have
assembled
contributions
from
a
wide
range
of
Twain
scholars.
As
a
whole,
the
collection
argues
that
it
is
time
we
approach
Clemens
not
as
a
shadow
behind
the
literary
persona
but
as
a
complex
and
intricate
creator
of
stories,
a
creator
who
is
deeply
embedded
in
the
political
events
of
his
time
and
who
used
a
mix
of
literary,
social,
and
personal
experience
to
fuel
the
movements
of
his
pen.
The essays illuminate Clemens's connections with people and events not usually given the spotlight and introduce us to Clemens as a man deeply embroiled in the process of making literary gold out of everyday experiences. From Clemens's wonderings on race and identity to his looking to family and domesticity as defining experiences, from musings on the language that Clemens used so effectively to consideration of the images and processes of composition, these essays challenge long-held notions of why Clemens was so successful and so influential a writer. While that search itself is not new, the varied approaches within this collection highlight markedly inventive ways of reading the life and work of Samuel Clemens.
