Abstract

Mark Twain's Pessimism
Hicks, Granville | October 28, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "My Father, Mark Twain," by Clara Clemens. The life of Mark Twain is probably more fully documented than that of any other U.S. author and it is doubtful if there is much to be added to the knowledge of him. Certainly his daughter, though she prints a number of new letters and tells some new stories, presents no information that will involve a new conception of his character. Nor does she herself attempt anything like a consistent interpretation.
