Dr. Alan Gribben, a foremost Twain scholar, made waves in 1980 with
the publication of Mark Twain's Library, a study that exposed for
the first time the breadth of Twain's reading and influences. Prior
to Gribben's work, much of Twain's reading history was assumed
lost, but through dogged searching Gribben was able to source much
of Twain's library. Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a
much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I
included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging
Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions.
This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive
accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by
Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions,
locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations
that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of
Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions
to our understanding of America's greatest author.
