Mark Twain - Raw and Uncut.,
By paul l wexler "Nightfall of Diamonds" (Annandale, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mark Twain's Notebooks & Journals, Volume I [1]: 1855-1873 (The Mark Twain Papers) (Hardcover)
One of the great debates of Twain scholarship is the influence of Olivia, his wife, on his work. I think Twain was madly in love with Livy; during their courtship, he repeatedly professed that he was trying to get religion, which pleased her to no end. I leave it to others to judge the sincerity of these assertions.
There are several places to go if you want to read the non-Livy Twain: His Letters; surviving Newspaper Articles; Pieces written after Livy's passing; and these Notebooks. If you have read his major and most of his minor works, here is some fresh meat for Mark Twain fanatics. |
