Mark Twain and Money: Language, Capital, and Culture

Beschreibung

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.
