Henry B. Wonham is a professor of English at the University of Oregon and the author of Mark Twain and the Art of the Tall Tale, Playing the Races: Ethnic Caricature and American Literary Realism, and Charles W. Chesnutt: A Study of Short Fiction. He is also the coeditor of Tales of Henry James, Second Edition.
This groundbreaking volume explores the importance of economics and prosperity throughout Samuel Clemens's writing and personal life. Investigating Samuel Clemens's often conflicting but insightful views on the roles of money in American culture and identity, this collection of essays shows how his fascination with the complexity of nineteenth-century economics informs much of Mark Twain's writing.
