• W340404110 abstract "publication of 29 volume Oxford Mark Twain in 1996 provided, both for writers and critics involved in project, and for its readers, an unusual opportunity for an overview and reassessment of work Twain published during his lifetime. Essays like that written by Toni Morrison on Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, where she speaks eloquently of her responses to different encounters with novel, focusing in particular on what she has come to see as the silences that pervade it ... entrances, crevices, gaps, seductive invitations flashing possibility of meaning. Unarticulated eddies that encourage diving into novel's undertow (Morrison xxxi, xxxiii, xxxvi), promise to become critical lens through a new generation of readers approach text. Another result of project, however, has been to remind us of original context in some of Twain's best-known short fictions appeared. So Cynthia Ozick, in her introduction to 1900 collection, Man that Corrupted and Other Stories and Essays, draws revealing comparisons between title story and little-known essay, Stirring Times in Austria, appears later in same volume. I use Ozick's essay, and also Bruce Michelson's analysis of The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg in his fine recent book, Mark Twain on Loose, (1) as twin points of departure for my own critical work here. It is not, though, merely connections between lead story and later essay about Austrian politics that emerge when re-reading Twain's book. However casual Twain and his publishers might have been in pulling together stories and essays written between 1893 and 1900 that make up collection (Jeffrey Rubin-Dorsky dismisses all but three of them as periodical literature, written for moment and for money [1]) a set of recurring concerns do bring it some unity, however loose that may be. Most noticeable are references to Dreyfus Case scattered through book. Twain makes direct reference to this case on four different occasions (144-46, 170, 270, and 388-89). Moreover, he wrote The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg in 1898 in Vienna, same year Zola published J'accuse, and Ozick astutely draws connections between Twain's story and this wider historical context when she writes that: notion of a society--even one in microcosm, like Hadleyburg--sliding deeper and deeper (and individual by individual) into ethical perversion and contamination was not far from a portrait of Europe undergoing contagion of its great lie. commanding theme of The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg is contagion; and also smugness that arises out of self-righteousness, however rooted in it may be. (xxxv) Ozick's reference to communal lie directly echoes idea of colossal National Lie (180) that Twain analyzes in My First Lie, And How I Got Out Of It, another essay in book. Communal hypocrisy, ethical perversion, Dreyfus Case, failures of systems of justice, and anti-Semitism, provide a cluster of related themes that draws together much of material in collection. (2) There are, too, other repeated themes that both further unify book and connect it to other work Twain was producing in period. subjects of mistaken and twinned identities, and of personal dislocation and alienation, obsessed Twain throughout his career, and especially in its final stages. In Hadleyburg, comic potential inherent in former pairing is exploited, to varying degree, in two pieces: My Debut as a Literary Person and My Boyhood Dreams. In first, Twain has a contribution on shipwreck of Hornet (a story fully reprised in this essay) accepted by an important New York magazine, but his dreams of literary glory are dashed by publication of his nom de plume not as MARK TWAIN but as `Mike Swain' or `MacSwain,' I do not remember which (85). …" @default.
