Roughing It as Restless Art

Bruce Michelson

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In these essays marking the 150th anniversary of Roughing It, a provocative theme emerges: energetic experiment. This theme encompasses not only Mark Twain, his text, and places and times that they engage, but also the commentary itself: restless adaptation to worldly experience, new ways of engaging it, and the protean intention and significance of the book.
