Information: - The idea of the "Great American Novel" is the concept that one novel shows the culture of the United States at a specific time in its history. It is presumably written by an American author who is knowledgeable about the state, culture, and perspective of the common American citizen. The author uses the literary work to identify and exhibit the language used by the American people of the time and to capture the unique American experience, especially as it is perceived for the time. In historical terms, it is sometimes equated as being the American response to the national epic. - '' A Murder , a Mystery , and a Marriage '' is a short story written by Mark Twain in 1876 . It was published in a very small , unauthorized edition in 1945 , with an authorized edition not appearing until 2001 . Initially Twain proposed to William Dean Howells that they entice twelve authors , including himself , to each write a short story to the same plot . The scheme failed , and Twain was the only one to flesh out the plot . The resulting manuscript remained unpublished until it was purchased by Lew D. Feldman . Mr. Feldman held that ownership of the original manuscript gave him the right to publish . To test this theory , in 1945 he brought out a limited edition of 16 copies of the printed story . The case went all the way to the U.S. Court of Appeals before it was determined that '' Ownership of a manuscript does not include the right of publication '' . It was not until 2001 that publication rights were settled , and the story was finally published in the Atlantic Monthly . This was followed by a book edition by W.W. Norton ( ISBN 0393043762 ) . - Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer.
