Over the last twenty years of his life, Mark Twain was a controversial figure. He evolved from the "clown prince of American literature" into a biting social critic and political observer. While some pundits hailed him as a satirist equal to Cervantes and Jonathan Swift, others excoriated him as a "degenerate literary freak" who wielded a "scurrilous and venomous pen." This volume traces the evolution of Mark Twain's public image between 1891 and his death in 1910. It features hundreds of reviews and other critical notices in magazines and newspapers across the U.S. and other English-speaking countries. The selected samples represent the full range of critical opinion, whether favorable or hostile, about his late writings. Sources reflect geographical differences in Twain's reputation, such as the conflicted responses in the British colonies towards his anti-imperialism and the pious disapproval in the American heartland of his attacks on foreign missions.

In the final volume of his three-volume biography, Gary Scharnhorst chronicles the life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens from his family’s extended trip to Europe in 1891 to his death in 1910 at age 74. During these years Clemens grapples with bankruptcy, returns to the lecture circuit, and endures the loss of two daughters and his wife. It is also during this time that he writes some of his darkest, most critical works; among these include Pudd’nhead Wilson; Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc; Tom Sawyer Abroad; Tom Sawyer, Detective; Following the Equator; No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger; and portions of his Autobiography.

"A rich visual history that traces Twain's distinguished depictions in newspaper and magazine illustrations. Cartoons and Caricatures of Mark Twain: Reformer and Social Critic, 1869-1910 is the first monograph to explore the production, reception, and history of Mark Twain's public persona through the contextualization of the vast collection of cartoons and caricatures penned in his likeness throughout his life, career, and even death. Tracing Twain's depiction across more than seventy illustrations, this work offers a new lens through which to study the famous writer and social critic. Already a popular subject of photography, as printing technologies advanced, Mark Twain found himself to also be a popular muse for newspaper and magazine illustrators. Between 1869 and his death in 1910, Twain was the subject of more than six hundred caricatures and cartoons published around the world. Instantly recognizable by his overemphasized mustache and bushily-drawn eyebrows, it was not just the familiarity of his image that made him a regular feature in visual commentary, but also his willingness to speak out against corruption and to insert himself into controversies of his day. Unlike photographs, these illustrations stripped him of his ability to manipulate his public perception and control his brand, providing a more authentic look at his contentious reputation in the 19th and 20th century political sphere and the significance of his reception around the world. Along with his legacy, Twain left behind an archive brimming with evidence of a rich print culture and history that has not, until now, been scrutinized. Cartoons and Caricatures of Mark Twain offers a carefully curated collection of these illustrations and thought-provoking contextual material with which to examine Twain's global reputation and reception"--

Originally published in 1967. Mark Twain's literary criticism is a significant branch of his writing that is relatively less explored and appreciated than his other writing. Sydney Krause analyzes the full range of Twain's criticism, much of which has lain neglected in notebooks, letters, marginalia, and autobiographical dictations. This body of work demonstrates that, in addition to being an acute critic given to close reading, Twain thought enough of his criticism to present much of it in an enveloping literary form. In his early criticism Twain used the mask of an ignorant fool (or Muggins), while in his later criticism he used the mask of a world-weary malcontent (or Grumbler). The resulting cross fire from extremes of innocence and experience proved effective against a wide range of literary targets. The Muggins dealt mainly with theater, journalism, oratory, and popular poetry; the grumbler with such writers as Goldsmith, Cooper, Scott, and Hare. Much of this criticism was an outgrowth of Twain's romanticism and therefore has importance for the history of American realism. Mark Twain's criticism was not wholly depreciatory, however. He liked Macaulay, Howells, Howe, Zola, and Wilbrandt, for example, because he found in some of their works the realization of history as an immediate presence. The evidence presented in this book challenges the view that Twain was not a serious student of the craft of writing; he possessed the combination of sensitivity and judgment that all great critics have.
