    In the nineteenth century, American tourists, scholars, evangelists, writers, and artists flocked to Palestine as part of a "Holy Land mania." Many saw America as a New Israel, a modern nation chosen to do God's work on Earth, and produced a rich variety of inspirational art and literature about their travels in the original promised land, which was then part of Ottoman-controlled Palestine. In American Palestine, Hilton Obenzinger explores two "infidel texts" in this tradition: Herman Melville's Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage to the Holy Land (1876) and Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad: or, The New Pilgrims' Progress (1869). As he shows, these works undermined in very different ways conventional assumptions about America's divine mission. In the darkly philosophical Clarel, Melville found echoes of Palestine's apparent desolation and ruin in his own spiritual doubts and in America's materialism and corruption. Twain's satiric travelogue, by contrast, mocked the romantic naiveté of Americans abroad, noting the incongruity of a "fantastic mob" of "Yanks" in the Holy Land and contrasting their exalted notions of Palestine with its prosaic reality. Obenzinger demonstrates, however, that Melville and Twain nevertheless shared many colonialist and orientalist assumptions of the day, revealed most clearly in their ideas about Arabs, Jews, and Native Americans. Combining keen literary and historical insights and careful attention to the context of other American writings about Palestine, this book throws new light on the construction of American identity in the nineteenth century

    "The Introspective Art of Mark Twain is a major new assessment of a towering American writer. Seeking to trace the development of Mark Twain's imagination, Douglas Anderson begins near the end, with the long dialogue What Is Man? that Twain published anonymously in 1906. In Twain's view, the little-read What Is Man? lies at the heart of his creative life. It is the central aesthetic testament that he employed to tell the story of his artistic evolution. Beginning there, Anderson follow the contours of that story as it unfolds over Twain's career. The portrait that emerges ranges the full length of Twain's writing life, drawing on his autobiographical and travel writings, essays, letters, and little known works, as well as his monumental works of literature, by now deeply embedded in the world literary canon. "Steer by the river in your head," Mark Twain's master pilot, Horace Bixby, once advised him, when the opaque atmosphere of the outer world made it impossible to see the actual Mississippi through which Twain was trying to guide his steamboat. For the purposes of this book, the river in one's head is not a mental construct of the physical world but the riverine networks of consciousness itself: the river that is the mind. The detailed discussions of individual books that structure each chapter are meant to direct the attention of Mark Twain's students and admirers, through inward rather than outward channels, toward a fuller appreciation for his legacy"-- "A new reading of the major themes and concerns of Mark Twain's life and work, tracing the development of his imagination from his earliest works in 1865 to his writings in the early twentieth century"-- Machine generated contents note: -- List of Illustrations -- Preface -- List of Abbreviations -- Introduction: Thought Experiments -- 1. Inside Excursions -- 2. Interest -- 3. Attention -- 4. Shadings -- Conclusion: Greatnesses in the Brain -- Notes -- Index

    In this book, structured largely as a series of answers to rhetorical questions about the nomenclature and physical makeup of rivercraft in Mark Twain's works and elsewhere, Beidler exerts complete salvage rights over the raft itself. Beidler's detailed annotations give us a solid grub stake for grasping the material culture of Huck Finn and, thus, enlarging our understanding of the book as a whole. --Jacket

    Cover -- Contents -- List of Figures -- Preface -- 1 Going East: Innocents Abroad -- 2 Going West: Roughing It -- 3 Going Home: Tom Sawyer -- 4 Running Away: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn -- 5 Lost in Time: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur8217;s Court -- 6 Looking for Refuge: Pudd 8217;nhead Wilson and 8220;Hadleyburg8221; -- Appendix: 8220;Mark Twain in His Times 8221; -- Notes -- Index. Emphasizing Mark Twain's ambitions and achievements as a writer, this introduction features close readings of his seven major works, including "Tom Sawyer", "Huckleberry Finn", "Connecticut Yankee" and "Pudd'nhead Wilson". It locates these texts in the larger contexts of Samuel Clemens' life and of late nineteenth-century American culture, investigating what the fictional persona of Mark Twain meant to the real-life person, Samuel Clemens, and what Twain's books meant to contemporary Americans. This book provides both a general introduction to Twain's major texts and an original reading of his obsession with performance and personality. It is illustrated with images from early editions of Twain's works. A short appendix directs readers to the author's award-winning website, 'Mark Twain in his Times', where they can explore the texts and issues analyzed in the book further
