Abstract:

In this sixth volume in The Library of America's authoritative collection of Mark Twain's writing, America's greatest humorist emerges in a surprising range of roles: as the savvy satirist of "The Gilded Age," the brilliant plotter of its inventive sequel, "The American Claimant, " and, in two Tom Sawyer novels, as the acknowledged master revisiting his best-loved characters.
