Synopsis
Excerpt from On Contemporary Literature
Persistent fallacy of criticism. Holding the critic's opinions to be obligatory upon other readers, says one of Professor Dewey's followers in an interestingly anar chical treatise on The Social Criticism of Literature, is very like fiat money -easy to issue but sometimes harder to realize upon. No power on earth can make a book really valuable to me if it is not so.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a tribute to Mark Twain and his profound influence on American literature and society. The author presents an in-depth exploration of Twain's life, tracing his journey from a printer's apprentice to a celebrated author and humorist. Through meticulous research and analysis of Twain's works, the book sheds light on the writer's unique perspective, his democratic ideals, and his incisive wit. The author argues that Twain's significance lies in his ability to capture the essence of the American character, particularly the frontier spirit of self-reliance and optimism. By contrasting Twain with his contemporaries, the book reveals how his writing reflected the changing social and cultural landscape of the 19th century. This insightful examination of Mark Twain's work and legacy makes a compelling case for his enduring relevance. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, humor, and the enduring impact of one of its most iconic figures.
