Book Description
Excerpt from The Big Bear of Arkansas: And Other Sketches, Illustrative of Characters and Incidents in the South and South-West A new vein of literature, as original as it is inexhaustible in its source, has been opened in this country within a very few years, with the most marked success. Up to the period when the publication of the first American "Sporting Magazine" was commenced - at Baltimore, in 1829 - and which was immediately followed by the publication, in New York, of the "Spirit of the Times," there existed no such class of writers as have, since that recent day, conferred signal honour on the rising literature of America. The New York "Constellation," then edited by that favoured disciple of Momus, the late Dr. Green, was the only journal in the country which preferred any claim to popular favour on the ground of being expressly devoted to wit and humor - to the fun and frolic, the flash and fashion of the day. But the novel design and scope of the "Spirit of the Times" soon fixed attention; and erelong it be came the nucleus of a new order of literary talent.

Mark Twain
Author: James Melville CoxPublisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 9780826214287
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
In Mark Twain: The Fate of Humor, James M. Cox pursues the development of Mark Twain's humor through all the forms it took from "The Jumping Frog" to The Mysterious Stranger. Instead of seeking the seriousness behind the humor, Cox concentrates upon the humor itself as the transfiguring power that converted all the "serious" issues and emotions of Mark Twain's life and time into narratives designed to evoke helpless laughter. In those sudden moments of pleasurable helplessness, we glimpse the great heart of a writer who imagined freedom in the slave society of his youth and discovered slavery in the free country of his old age. For this edition of Mark Twain: The Fate of Humor, the author has written a new introduction showing how and why Mark Twain remains a central figure in American life; he has also appended an essay disclosing why Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will always be a hard book to take.
