SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS (1999)
by John Patrick Michael Murphy
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was a freethinker who brooked many hard blows in his roisterous life. He left school at 14 when his father died. He lost three of his four children, and, after three decades of marriage, he lost his wife, Olivia. In addition to this heart scalding, he incurred great financial setbacks. His impulsive nature, coupled with his proclivity to seek out investments with a clear heart and an empty head, would cost him many fortunes. He had to be a prolific, world-class writer and lecturer to live the whimsical life he fancied. No book influenced him more than the Bible . He claimed, "It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand." He found it revolting, but his skepticism is revealed only in snatches and bits in his benchmark books. A line from Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer , or some puckish insight in Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar Faith is believing what you know ain't so ), would hint at Twain's disbelief. He had to be coy and cautious, for in his day the YMCA and its Comstockian cops were on the prowl.

Author
Better known by his pen name, Mark Twain, satirist Samuel Langhorne Clemens spent much of his youth in Hannibal, Missouri, the Mississippi River town that was to inspire such successes as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Born in western Pennsylvania, John White Alexander moved to New York City in 1875 to work as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly. After further artistic training at Munich's Royal Academy, he returned to New York in 1881, where he taught, worked as an illustrator, and made a name for himself as a portraitist. In 1891 he moved his family to Paris, where he may have first met Clemens, for it is known that he undertook a portrait of the writer's daughter in this city sometime between 1898 and 1900. The precise circumstances of Clemens's sittings are not known, but Alexander did remain in contact with the author after he returned to New York in 1902, for he was invited to the writer's seventieth birthday party in 1905.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens Mark Twain It was in the West that Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, and although the landscape and characters of frontier life play only a small part in his writings, one can always detect a tang of the region where he found his literary voice and identity in his distinctively colloquial style. Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, on the Mississippi River. His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial support, and Clemens became a printer's apprentice, eventually working for his brother, Orion, who had set himself up in Hannibal as a newspaper publisher. After a year spent setting type for newspapers on the east coast, Clemens returned in 1854 to rejoin Orion, who by this time had moved on to start a paper in Keokuk, Iowa. Through all his years in the printshop, Clemens tried his hand at composing humorous pieces, using the heavy-handed techniques of local colorists who were popular at the time. By 1856, he was accomplished enough to receive a commission from the Keokuk Saturday Post for a series of comical letters reporting on his planned travels to South America. But on his way down the Mississippi, Clemens temporarily abandoned his literary ambitions to take up a trade he had dreamed about as a boy. He apprenticed himself to become a riverboat pilot, and after 18 months of training, spent the next three years navigating the Mississippi's ever-changing waters.

Mo., was apprenticed to a printer at the age of thirteen, and worked at his trade in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York. In 1851 he became a pilot on Mississippi river steamboats, and in 1861 went to Nevada as private secretary to his brother, who had been appointed secretary of the territory. Afterward he undertook mining in Nevada, and became in 1862 city editor of the Virginia City " Enterprise." In reporting legislative proceedings from Carson he signed his letters "Mark Twain," a name suggested by the technical phraseology of Mississippi navigation, where, in sounding a depth of two fathoms, the leadsman calls out to "mark twain !"

On November 30, Samuel Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world asthe sixth child of John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton Clemens.
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~pmarko/twain.html
About Mark Twain:
In 1835, the small town of Florida, Missouri's most famous son was born. On November 30, Samuel Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world as the sixth child of John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton Clemens. Little did John and Jane know that their son Samuel would become known as Mark Twain, one of America's most famous writers.
When Samuel was 12, his father died, and at 13, Samuel left school to become a printer's apprentice. After two short years, he joined his brother Orion's newspaper as a printer and editorial assistant. It was here that young Samuel found he enjoyed writing. At 17, he left Hannibal behind for a printer's job in St. Louis. While in St. Louis, Clemens became a river pilot's apprentice. He became a licensed river pilot in 1858. Clemens' pseudonym, Mark Twain, comes from his days as a river pilot. It is a river term which means two fathoms or twelve feet when the depth of water for a boat is being sounded. "Mark twain" means that is safe to navigate. Because the river trade was brought to a stand still by the Civil War in 1861, Clemens began working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States. In 1870, Clemens married Olivia Langdon, and they had four children, one of whom died in infancy and two who died in their twenties. Their surviving child, Clara, lived to be 88, and had one daughter. Clara's daughter died without having any children, so there are no direct descendants of Samuel Clemens living.

Twain, Mark Voyage des innocents À la Dure (1872), il relate ses aventures de mineur et de journaliste et dans la Vie sur le Mississippi (1883), ses expériences de batelier. Son roman le plus connu, les Aventures de Tom Sawyer (1876), raconte les expériences d'un jeune garçon dans une ville située au bord du Mississippi. L'ouvrage les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn (1884), qui constitue la suite de Tom Sawyer, est généralement considéré comme le chef-d'œuvre de Twain. En apparence débordant d'humour et d'exubérance, cet ouvrage démasque en fait la cruauté qui alimente les événements les plus quotidiens. Le pessimisme de Twain apparaît davantage encore dans des ouvrages plus tardifs, comme Jeanne d'Arc (1896) ou le Mystérieux Étranger (posthume, 1916). Il écrivit aussi des nouvelles, mais également des essais philosophiques, sociaux et politiques et des notes autobiographiques. Avec un bon compliment, je peux vivre deux mois. C'est beau d'être vertueux, mais apprendre aux autres à l'être, c'est encore plus beau... et tellement plus facile. C'est la différence d'opinion qui fait les courses de chevaux.

Lecture 04
The Gilded Age and the Politics of Corruption
The term "The Gilded Age" comes from a novel of the same name published in 1873 by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, which, though fictional, is a critical examination of politics and corruption in the United States during the nineteenth century. This lecture explores how rampant economic and political corruption colored American society and culture during the Gilded Age. Some questions to keep in mind:
  • How did the federal government transform the American economy during the Gilded Age? Why was corruption so rampant in American politics during this period? Was it worse than today? If so, why? Was there really any difference between the Republican and Democratic parties at this time? If so, what?
  • The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today
    A novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, which explores political and economic corruption in the United States. The central characters, Colonel Beriah Sellers and Senator Abner Dilworthy, are tied together in a government railroad bribery scheme. Twain and Warner depict an American society that, despite its appearance of promise and prosperity, is riddled with corruption and scandal.
    Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) Mark Twain
    Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known as Mark Twain, was one of America's greatest nineteenth-century writers. Born in Hannibal, Missouri, he observed life along the Mississippi River and later incorporated these insights into his fiction. Clemens invested in several businesses but none prospered, and later in life he became more cynical about American society as he spoke throughout the country.
