Description :
The surprising final chapter of a great American life.
When the first volume of Mark Twain’s uncensored Autobiography
was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the
shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the
great humorist’s life and times. This third and final volume crowns and
completes his life’s work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles
Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that
go wherever his fancy leads.
Created from March 1907 to
December 1909, these dictations present Mark Twain at the end of his
life: receiving an honorary degree from Oxford University; railing
against Theodore Roosevelt; founding numerous clubs; incredulous at an
exhibition of the Holy Grail; credulous about the authorship of
Shakespeare’s plays; relaxing in Bermuda; observing (and investing in)
new technologies. The Autobiography’s “Closing Words” movingly
commemorate his daughter Jean, who died on Christmas Eve 1909. Also
included in this volume is the previously unpublished “Ashcroft-Lyon
Manuscript,” Mark Twain’s caustic indictment of his “putrescent pair” of
secretaries and the havoc that erupted in his house during their
residency.
Fitfully published in fragments at intervals throughout the twentieth century, Autobiography of Mark Twain
has now been critically reconstructed and made available as it was
intended to be read. Fully annotated by the editors of the Mark Twain
Project, the complete Autobiography emerges as a landmark publication in American literature.
