THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
Mark Twain, the pen-name for Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), drew his identity from life along the Mississippi River during the years immediately preceding the Civil War, which inspired the characters and incidents in his best-known works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). Born in Florida, Missouri, but raised in Hannibal, Clemens first trained as a printer, but in 1857 he became an apprentice pilot on the great river. At the start of the Civil War, he went to Nevada with his brother Orion, and was briefly involved in mining ventures before taking up a journalistic career (under the name Mark Twain) which eventually carried him to California and Hawaii, experiences recounted in Roughing It (1872). He next travelled to Europe and the Holy Land with an excursion party, the basis for The Innocents Abroad (1869), a humorous narrative that quickly established his reputation and launched his career as a comic lecturer. After marrying Olivia Langdon in 1870, Clemens abandoned the lecture circuit and moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where he wrote most of the books by which he is known, in a period of great prosperity that was ended in 1894 by bankruptcy resulting from incautious investments. Returning to the lecture circuit, Clemens recovered his fortune, but his later life was darkened by tragedy, including the deaths of his favourite daughter, Susy, and his wife. Another daughter, Jean, suffered from epilepsy and died in 1909, followed shortly by her father. Peter Stoneley is Professor of English and American Literature at the University of Reading. His books include Mark Twain and the Feminine Aesthetic (1992) and Consumerism and American Girls’ Literature, 1860–1940 (2003).
