Recensioner i media

Twain's views on anything and everything are examined here in concise but sufficiently detailed chapters on topics ranging from race, gender, religion, commerce, and imperialism... To the student interested not only in Twain's writings, but in the broader subject of his eventful times, this should be a welcome addition. Virginia Quarterly Review
