Edited by R. Kent Rasmussen, this volume in the Critical Insights series collects a variety of new, classic, and contemporary essays on Twain's life and works. Rasmussen's introduction offers a reflection on the author's enduring popularity, and Sasha Weiss praises Twain's skilful recreation of an authentic American vernacular in """"""""Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog"""""""" and Huckleberry Finn.
