It completes the story begun there of Samuel Clemens's business affairs, especially insofar as they concern dealings with publishers; and it documents Clemens's progress from financial disaster, with the Paige typesetter and Webster & Company, to renewed prosperity under the steady, skillful hand of H. H. Rogers. But Clemens's correspondence with Rogers reveals more than a business relationship. It illuminates a friendship which Clemens came to value above all others, and it suggests a profound change in his patterns of living. He who during the Hartford years had been a devoted family man, content with a discrete circle of intimates, now became again (as he had been during the Nevada and California years) a man among sporting men, enjoying prizefights and professional billiard matches in public, and-in private-long days of poker, gruff jest, and good Scotch whisky aboard Rogers's magnificent yacht.Mark Twain PapersLITERARY CRITICISM / American / Generalbisacshamerican authors.american literature.author.autobiography.bankruptcy.billiards.biography.business man.business.career.classics.correspondence.epistolary.famous author.financial disaster.friendship.gender.hh rogers.humor.letters.literary celebrity.literary criticism.literary figures.male friendship.mark twain.masculinity.memoir.pen pals.poker.prizefights.publisher.publishing.samuel clemens.satire.speaking tour.sports.wealth.yacht.LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General.817/.4HT 4702rvkTwain Mark1835-1910.27404Rogers Henry Huttleston1840-1909.1670787Leary Lewis1906-1990.119188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810353803321Mark Twain's correspondence with Henry Huttleston Rogers, 1893-19094032865UNINA
