Summary |
"From New York City to Vienna to the suburban utopia of Harford, Twain spent most of his life in an urban environment, generating writings that marked America's movement into the twentieth century. Rather than the nostalgic voice of America's rural post, Twain was a visionary of a cosmopolitan future"--Provided by publisher. |
