Who was Mark Twain? Was he the genial author of two beloved boys
books, the white-haired and white-suited avuncular humorist, the
realistic novelist, the exposer of shams, the author repressed by
bourgeois values, or the social satirist whose later writings
embody an increasingly dark view? In light of those and other
conceptions, the question we need to ask is not who he was but how
did we get so many Mark Twains? The Mercurial Mark Twains(s):
Reception History and Iconic Authorship provides answers to that
question by examining the way Twain, his texts, and his image have
been constructed by his audiences. Drawing on archival records of
responses from common readers, reviewer reactions, analyses by
Twain scholars and critics, and film and television adaptations,
this study provides the first wide-ranging, fine-grained historical
analysis of Twain's reception in both the public and private
spheres, from the 1860s until the end of the twentieth century.
