This 1992 book traces the ways in which Mark Twain was formed by,
and sought to manipulate, the ideology of gender. Feminine and
masculine values exist via their opposition to and interplay with
each other, and Twain, a representative masculine figure, provides
a useful focal point for an exploration of the subject. Not only
did Twain address himself directly to the conflicting and
complementary aspects of gendered culture, but his models of
history are strongly marked by the same issue: his exploitation of
North/male - South/female associations is investigated, as well as
the significance of individual figures such as Joan of Arc.
Stoneley considers the range of Twain's writing, including classic
works such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, genteel fiction such
as The Prince and the Pauper and embittered autobiographical
fragments. Stoneley goes beyond generalizations to provide a
detailed analysis; his book will be of interest to scholars and
students of American literature, cultural history and gender
studies.
