| Sommario/riassunto: | Tracing the theme of bad faith in all of Clemens's major writing, particularly the late work, Robinson sheds light on a tormented moral life. His book challenges conventional assumptions about the humorist's personality and creativity, directing attention to what William Dean Howells describes as 'the depths of a nature whose tragical seriousness broke in the laughter which the unwise took for the whole of him.' |
