Mark Twain was an author both drawn to and suspicious of authority,
and his novels reflect this tension. Marked by disruptions,
repetitions, and contradictions, they exemplify the ideological
stand-off between the American ideal of individual freedom and the
reality of social control. This book provides a fresh look at
Twain's major novels, including Life on the Mississippi,
Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
The difficulties in these works are shown to be neither flaws nor
failures, but rather intrinsic to both the structure of the
American novel and the texture of American culture.
