Description: "[The author] stresses Clemens' role as a social prophet and documents it with particular relevance for our time. He challenges the assumptions of some previous scholars who have viewed Clemens from a narrower or purely Freudian point of view; and he presents so large and fresh a selection of Clemen's writings that the book can also serve as a Mark Twain reader."--p. [2] of cover.
