In the summer of 1855, when the nineteen-year-old Sam Clements traveled from Saint Louis to Hannibal, Paris, and Florida, Missouri, and then to Keokuk, Iowa, he carried with him a notebook in which he entered French lessons, phrenological information, miscellaneous observations, and reminders about errands to be performed. This first notebook thus took the random form which would characterize most of those to follow. About the text: In order to avoid editorial misrepresentation and to preserve the texture of autograph documents, the entries are presented in their original, often unfinished, form with most of Clemens' irregularities, inconsistencies, errors, and cancellations unchanged. Clemens' cancellations are included in the text enclosed in angle brackets, thus ; editorially-supplied conjectural readings are in square brackets, thus [word]; hyphens within square brackets stand for unreadable letters, thus [--]; and editorial remarks are italicized and enclosed in square brackets, thus [blank page}- A slash separates alternative readings which Clemens left unresolved, thus word/word.The separation of entries is indicated on the printed page by extra space between lines; when the end of a manuscript entry coincides with the end of a page of the printed text, the symbol [#] follows the entry. A full discussion of textual procedures accompanies the tables of emendation and details of inscription in the Textual Apparatus at the end of each volume; specific textual problems are explained in headnotes or footnotes when unusual situations warrant.

Tillfälligt slut
Mark Twain’s Letters, Volume 1, 1853–1866 inaugurates the comprehensive edition of Samuel Clemens’s correspondence, tracing his transformation from an ambitious journeyman printer into the writer who would become Mark Twain. This first volume gathers letters from Twain’s early travels across the United States and his formative years in Nevada and California, culminating in the period just before the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. The correspondence captures his wit, irreverence, and sharp eye for character, while also offering candid glimpses of his personal struggles, ambitions, and relationships with family and friends. Edited with full annotation, the letters are accompanied by contextual notes that illuminate Twain’s cultural milieu and clarify references to people, events, and places central to his development. They reveal the interplay between Twain’s lived experiences—riverboat piloting, mining, and reporting—and his growing literary voice. Together, these documents chronicle the apprenticeship of an American humorist while enriching our understanding of the social and cultural world of mid-nineteenth-century America. This first volume is indispensable to scholars and general readers alike, presenting the raw material of a life that would reshape American literature.
