"Twain's views on anything and everything are examined here in
concise but sufficiently detailed chapters on topics ranging from
race, gender, religion, commerce, and imperialism.... To the
student interested not only in Twain's writings, but in the broader
subject of his eventful times, this should be a welcome
addition."--Virginia Quarterly Review
