Mark Twain in the Margins: The Quarry Farm Marginalia and a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Studies in American Literary Realism)

“Through a mixture of careful research and imaginative analysis, Fulton creates a compelling re-vision of Twain as an artist.”—American Literary Realism “With the skill of Sherlock Holmes at his best, Fulton deduces from seemingly trivial scribblings Twain's practice as a writer and his use of sources to form both incidents and his hero's social vision . . . . An important accomplishment in Twain studies.”—Choice “Fulton has provided a store of potential future scholarship, and he has certainly raised the bar in our overall understanding and appreciation of Twain's creative processes.”—Mark Twain Forum
