“A wonderful tool. This volume offers a wealth of resources from a range of critical perspectives.”-Steven Mailloux, University of California, Irvine “This book makes the case, for those who still need to be convinced, that Mark Twain needs to be taught for all of the insight his work provides into our past as well as our present.”-Rhett Jones, Brown University “As someone who taught Mark Twain for almost forty years, I flattered myself by thinking I knew what I was doing. Yet I can say without hesitation that, whatever I thought I knew, I was much instructed by Making Mark Twain Work in the Classroom. This book is a significant addition to the mass of materials available on Mark Twain.”-James M. Cox, Dartmouth College
