Life On the Mississippi ——————————————- If any one writer stands at the heart of American literature it is Mark Twain. With a wild head of hair, thick mustache, and brilliant white suit, he is more recognizable than any living writer. He is certainly America's most popular writer--arguably the most popular American writer the world over--and the greatest humorist we have ever known. The Oxford Mark Twain is a superb collection of Twain's works, with some of our most eminent writers introducing each volume with personal insights and experiences. Each volume includes an afterword by a noted scholar who place the work in the context of Twain's career and the literary and social climate of the time. The Oxford Mark Twain is a cause for celebration. Colorful, irreverent, romantic, skeptical, a master of comic asides, a bittersweet humorist, and an unflinching critic of human pretensions, Twain speaks to us across time with verve and wisdom. ————————————————————- We will be offering the full Oxford Collection in 5-Volume groups, beginning with this one. Please inquire if interested in additional volumes or the complete collection.
