Mark Twain In a Darker VoiceBy Alan L. ChaseA very knowledgeable friend of mine asked me not long ago about my appreciation of the writing of Mark Twain. I talked about the usual highlights: "Tom Sawyer," "Huckleberry Finn," "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court." He asked if I were familiar with the novella, "The Mysterious Stranger." When I confessed my ignorance, he strongly recommended that I read it, and so I did.In this compilation of the novella and three short stories, this familiar writer speaks in an unfamiliar voice. Toward the end of his life, Samuel Clemens became quite cynical and curmudgeonly. The novella "The Mysterious Stranger" was published posthumously in 1916, and reflects his later life jaundiced views of God, mankind, and the universe in general.In the story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg," the narrative is centered on a town this is renowned for the unshakable honesty of each of its citizens. A mysterious stranger comes to town, leaves a bag of money with clear instructions of what is to be done. The instructions are written in a way that is almost guaranteed to test the moral mettle of the town residents. As the possibility of getting their hands on the money dawns on some of the towns most prominent citizens, the fabric of their rectitude begins to unravel. In this tale, Twain shows a depth of understanding of human frailty and the human psyche that is disturbingly accurate.The novella "The Mysterious Stranger" treats the topic of an alluring young man who calls himself "Satan." He bedazzles a group of naive young men, and using his Angel of Light seduction sleight of hand, leads them on a merry chase across the universe. Reading this fascinating story reminded me of the oft-repeated phrase that the Devil's greatest accomplishment was convincing mankind that he does not exist.On the final page, Twain shares what appears to be his ultimate nihilistic philosophy of life, spoken by "Satan":"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities.He vanished, and left me appalled; for I knew, and realized, that all he had said was true."What a sad perspective upon which to end one's otherwise rich life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. if you're looking for something like Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Adventures of Huckleberry FinnBy AudraTwain's book, written late in life, reveals his cynicism about society and humanity. No. 44 is also a mind-bender because some of the concepts it explores are very complex. It's rather different from his more famous works; if you're looking for something like Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this book may not be for you. Although No. 44 does include some of Twain's trademark humor, it's also quite dark. I found myself feeling rather depressed at the end of this novel, but I did enjoy certain instances of Twain's wit--such as his comments about cats. Overall, No. 44 gives you an interesting glimpse into Twain's mind. Just remember that it's dark in there!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Mark Twain at his best and that's better than almost anybodyBy butchosboxMark Twain at his best and that's better than almost anybody. I love his paragraph on the god myth at the end of the mysterious stranger which depicts the silliness of the creator story. His common sense and humour are outstanding in this story as it always is and it was a joy to read. An unfinished novella that Mark Twain worked on periodically from roughly 1890 until his death in 1910. The body of the work is a serious social commentary addressing Twain's ideas of the Moral Sense and the ''damned human race.'' Published posthumously in 1916 by Twain's biographer Albert Bigelow Paine. Show Excerpt roubled, there was no occasion for us to be afraid of an angel, and he liked us, anyway. He went on chatting as simply and unaffectedly as ever; and while he talked he made a crowd of little men and women the size of your finger, and they went diligently to work and cleared and leveled off a space a couple of yards square in the grass and began to build a cunning little castle in it, the women mixing the mortar and carrying it up the scaffoldings in pails on their heads, just as our work-women have always done, and the men laying the courses of masonry--five hundred of these toy people swarming briskly about and working diligently and wiping the sweat off their faces as natural as life. In the absorbing interest of watching those five hundred little people make the castle grow step by step and course by course, and take shape and symmetry, that feeling and awe soon passed away and we were quite comfortable and at home again. We asked if we might make some people, and he said yes, and told Seppi to make some c From the Back CoverIn his last years Mark Twain had become a respected literary figure whose opinions were widely sought by the press. He had also suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses. The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's "dark" period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. In this antireligious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, "nothing exists; all is a dream".About the Author Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and died at Redding, Connecticut in 1910. In his person and in his pursuits he was a man of extraordinary contrasts. Although he left school at twelve when his father died, he was eventually awarded honorary degrees from Yale University, the University of Missouri, and Oxford University. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher. He made fortunes from his writing but toward the end of his life he had to resort to lecture tours to pay his debts. He was hot-tempered, profane, and sentimental???and also pessimistic, cynical, and tortured by self-doubt. His nostalgia helped produce some of his best books. He lives in American letters as a great artist, the writer whom William Dean Howells called ???the Lincoln of our literature.???

  • Satanic Mr. Twain
    Adam Lankford Satanic Mr. Twain Introduction The clues are all there, but no one has had the courage to face it. Twain was Satan. The Devil himself. Writer Ron Powers recognizes that “Twain was an untamable rogue, a kind of barely restrainable id, a great, dark, spirit” (Burns, pt.1), but he hasn’t pushed to discover the truth. Twain was Satan. Reader: do you dismiss this claim already? If so, simply step in line with all mankind--you people may revel in your ignorance together. But if you’re willing to face the truth--read on. Look back: over the first sixty-years of his “life,” Twain cleverly built himself into a public celebrity, a nineteenth century American angel. Not an angel because he was flawless or avoided controversy, but because he was a man of the people. “His publisher began promoting him as ‘The People’s Author’” (Burns, pt.1). In a period where the masses harbored resentment towards the upper classes, he was their representative, their angel because he was a common man who had as much public influence as the most recognizable figuredheads in high society. “The 1870s was a time of unprecedented growth...Powerful new industrial interests got whatever they wanted from Washington” (Burns, pt.1). Not one to forget his humble Missouri roots, Twain published The Gilded Age in 1873, an attack on the corruption swarming around money, business, and politics. As Thomas Alva Edison explained, “The average American loves his family. If he 1 has any love left over for some other person, he generally selects Mark Twain” (Burns, pt.2).

  • Print Culture, Queer Form, and Mark Twain's No. 44, the Mysterious
    650 Print Culture, Queer Form, and Mark Twain’s No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger Print Culture, Queer Form, and Mark Twain’s No. 44, f The Mysterious Stranger Benjamin Mangrum August Feldner, the narrator of Mark Twain’s posthumously published manuscript No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger, uses modern American dialect when recounting his adolescence in late medieval Austria.1 August says, for instance, that he intends to “[get] in on the ground floor” (43) of a special mass by paying a sizable sum for special ac- cess to the Sacred Host. The modern language of stocks and invest- ments frames the procedures of pre-Reformation penance and the Catholic system of monastic orders. Anachronisms of this sort occur frequently throughout the narrative and thus suspend determinate chronological differences, much in the way that Jonathan Goldberg and Madhavi Menon describe the queering of history. In Goldberg and Menon’s view, anachronisms work against the grain of historicist models of analysis that situate the past and the present according to the terms of “alterity” (1609). They argue that modern historical ac- counts overwhelmingly pattern history after the prefix “hetero,” and they advise historians to think instead about the historical pleasures of sameness. The anachronisms of Twain’s manuscript similarly con- figure August’s narrative according to crafted temporal displacement, as if the narrative were as out of sync with the normal order of things but strategically aware of this discrepancy. As a result, August’s verbal MFS Modern Fiction Studies, Volume 66, number 4, Winter 2020. Copyright © 2020 for the Purdue Research Foundation by Johns Hopkins University Press.

    /37Q/c /vo. THE CAPTAIN STORMFIELD CHARACTER IN THE PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED WORKS OF MARK TWAIN DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Helen Hanicak, B. A., M. A. Denton, Texas May, 1976 Hanicak, Helen A., The Captain Stormfield Character in the Published and Unpublished Works of Mark Twain. Doctor of Philosophy (English) December, 1975, 148 pp., bibliography, 77 titles. Captain Stormf ield, the main character in Mark Twain's last book, Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven (1909), and in Dixon Wecter's restored posthumous edition of this work, entitled "Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven" (1952), appears numerous times--under either the Stormfield name or some other--in Twain's published and unpublished works. His presence throughout the Twain canon--from soon after 1868 when Twain sailed from San Francisco to Panama with Stormfield's original, Captain Edgar (Ned) Wakeman, until 1909, the publication date of Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven--demon- strates Twain's preoccupation with this important character. Works, listed by real or approximate date of composition, as diverse as Roughing It (1872), the "Simon Wheeler Sequence" (c. 1870), Simon Wheeler: Amateur Detective (1878-c. 1898), "Some Random Notes on an Idle Excursion" (1877), "The Great Dark" (1897), and another posthumous work, "Refuge of the Derelicts" (1905-1906), all have 2 Stormfieldian characters, and they all reflect the complex personality of Mark Twain. Most important, Stormfield and represents Twain's ambivalence toward theological philosophical questions of existence.

  • Supernatural Strangers in 'The War-Prayer'
    84 Mark Twain Studies Vol. 2 Mark Twain’s Messengers for a Fallen World: Supernatural Strangers in “The War-Prayer” and The Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts Nancy VON ROSK The stranger is a familiar gure in Mark Twain’s work. Huck Finn, Pudd’nhead Wil- son and Hank Morgan are all de ned by their outsider status as well as their superiority to the societies from which they stand apart. Yet whether these gures have superior moral- ity, intellect or technical expertise, they are nevertheless not completely separate from the societies they implicitly criticize. Pudd’nhead Wilson becomes mayor of the town that once laughed at him; Hank Morgan marries a woman from Arthurian England and yearns to return there, and even Huck Finn joins Tom Sawyer in imprisoning Jim, never com- pletely understanding whether he or society is right. The boundaries then between the outsider and society are often ambiguous in Twain’s works, and the supposed superiority of the stranger may be called into question. The stranger continues to play an important role in Twain’s later works such as “The War-Prayer” and The Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts; however, the strangers in these works are far stranger; now the stranger is a supernatural gure—an angel or “messen- ger from God”—suggesting not only Twain’s more profound alienation from American society and politics, but also the keener sense of moral authority this position had given him. Indeed, as these gures highlight the absurdity of the human condition, they are com- pletely detached from the societies they come to criticize, and there is no more ambiguity regarding where they stand.

  • Book Reviews Category of Mark Twain's
    Book Reviews 85 category of Mark Twain’s “old-man” figures to include young Satan of The Mysterious Stranger papers-“he is actually 16,000 years old” (p. 61)-Tom of Tom Sawyer Abroad, and David Wilson, the fingerprint expert of Pudd‘nhead Wilson, who functions as both an “old-man” figure and the representative spokesman for community values. Much of the critics’ difficulty with late Mark Twain lies, of course, in the heavy handed conception of his truth tellers as only pieces of “machinery.” Even Blues’ admirable reading of “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg” cannot make that story better than the moralistic bore it is. Although his general conclusions about both the progressively bitter views of Mark Twain and the mixed success of his fiction offer nothing significantly new, Blues’ imaginatively sustained and sub- stantiated thesis does. And in going against the practice of even the best scholars, he is to be praised for insisting on the use of the full Mark Twain rather than the illogical Twain. Finally, the graceful execution of the text is complemented by a handsome format. Indiana University, Bloomington James H. Justus Poles in American History and Tradition. By Joseph A. Wytrwal. (Detroit : Endurance Press, 1969. Pp. 485. Notes, bibliog- raphy, index. $6.75.) This is an amateur, popular history of the role some Poles have played in American history, with heavy emphasis upon the activities of individuals-some well known (such as Pulaski) and some not-in America’s wars from the war for national independence through Vietnam. It is filled with a marvelous variety of information, some relevant and some not.
