Marked by disruptions, repetition, and contradictions, the novels of Mark Twain exemplify the ideological stand-off between the American ideal of individual freedom and the reality of social control. This book provides a fresh look at some of Twain's major novels, such as Life on the Mississippi, Huckleberry Finn and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
