Description
Mark Twain: A Biography, complete in this text, is Albert Bigelow Paine's authorized life. Its subtitle promises the personal and literary life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Paine dedicated it to Clara Clemens, Twain's daughter. She upheld his purpose to write history rather than eulogy.
An acknowledgment thanks Howells, Twichell, Goodman, and other old friends. Six years and more went into the making of these volumes. Paine lived in Twain's house and heard his memories at first hand. The life runs from Hannibal boyhood to the Stormfield farewell. Letters, anecdotes, and sorrows fill its thousands of pages. It remains the foundation of all Twain biography.
