Lighting Out for the Territory [electronic resource] : Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture
Fishkin, Shelley Fisher.
New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press,
1998.
Mark Twain has been called the American Cervantes, our Homer, our Tolstoy, our Shakespeare. Ernest Hemingway maintained that ""all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."" President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took the phrase ""New Deal"" from AConnecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Twain's Gilded Age gave an entire era its name. Twain is everywhere--in ads for Bass Ale, in episodes of ""Star Trek,"" as a greeter in Nevada's Silver Legacy casino. Clearly, the reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
