<i>Mark Twain and Money</i> is a provocative collection of essays on a subject that is both central to understanding Twain's life, thought, and writing, and, at the same time, focusing on an under-examined aspect of the man and his writing. --Tom Quirk, author of <i>Mark Twain and Human Nature</i> and <i>Mark Twain: A Study of the Short Fiction</i>

Mark Twain and Money is based on sound research and scholarship and offers interesting reassessments of familiar works and valuable new treatments of lesser-known works. This book should be appealing not only to students of Twain but also to Americanists generally and to anyone interested in interdisciplinary studies of American literature and culture. - Robert Sattelmeyer, coeditor of One Hundred Years of Huckleberry Finn: The Boy, His Book, and American Culture Mark Twain and Money is a provocative collection of essays on a subject that is both central to understanding Twain's life, thought, and writing, and, at the same time, focusing on an under-examined aspect of the man and his writing. - Tom Quirk, author of Mark Twain and Human Nature and Mark Twain: A Study of the Short Fiction
