Reviews

This is more than a study in literary influence. Robert McParland has driven a core sample deep into the history of American culture, revealing the responses that Mark Twain evoked in readers of all social and ethnic backgrounds. -- Jonathan Rose, Drew University [T]he text is clear and the documents provide interesting reading...[O]verall, the information McParland offers will stimulate thought about Twain's reception. Chapters on marketing subscription books, childhood reading, the global audience, and responses to Twain's place in literature from 1910 through 1960 read smoothly...Summing Up: Recommended...Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.
