Recenzii

"...a genuine advance in our grasp of Twain's] contemporary reputation." To Wit
"...more than just a worthwhile book....Budd actively engages the past and the "lively and educative" function of reviewers and their reviews." Jason G. Horn, Mark Twain Forum
"Any historicist account of Twain...would benefit from a close look at Louis J. Budd's collection of contemporary reviews. The results of this wonderfully rewarding search are in part borne out in the equally rewarding Mark Twain: The Contemporary Reviews, a volume that should assist not only those students of Budd's who will endeavor to assay the biographical record for themselves but also most Twain scholars with an interest in Twain in his own time." Mississippi Quarterly
