Mark Twain : A Biography (Greenwood Biographies)

Summary: An in-depth modern survey of Twain
Review: Samuel Clemons lived 75 years; fifty of them writing under the pseudonym Mark Twain - while numerous critical works about his writings abound, surprisingly there are very few in-depth biographical coverages that reveal Mark Twain's personal life. Biogapher Connie Kirk uses established Twain resources and adds new research and perspectives gleaned from Twain's personal letters and her discussions with family members: the result is an in-depth modern survey of Twain for new students of his works.
