Is Shakespeare Dead?, Mark Twain, 2005, Great Britain,. When Shakespeare died, in 1616, great literary productions attributed to him as author had been before the London world and in high favor for twenty-four years. Yet his death , or Conversation, as it was by the Social Fireside, in the time of the Tudors is a hilarious ribald send-up of Elizabethan England in which Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Sir Walter Raleigh, and other luminaries of the period are pictured sitting about the fireplace amusing one another with risqué tales. During a visit to West Point in 1881, Twain met Lieutenant Charles Erskine Scott Wood, adjutant to the commanding general. As Leslie Fiedler notes in his afterword, "he discovered not only that Wood, like him, was a freethinker, but that he had at his disposal a well-equipped printing plant." He asked Wood to publish the piece, and it is the West Point edition--complete with the Old English-style type Wood selected--that is printed here. If "in 1601 Twain both parodied and paid homage to Shakespeare's liberating bawdry," Erica Jong observes in her introduction, in "Is Shakespeare Dead? he tried to come to terms with his conflicting responses to Shakespeare as mentor and muse." Jong suggests that Twain's real concern in this book may well be his own "place in literary history." Yes, this IS a fart joke. In fact, rumor has it that Twain's poker buddies were its first readers. The then Sec'y of the Army had West Point Press publish it.the transcendant skill and humor raises this to greatness, despite the subject. In fact, Twain probably took this as a huge challenge.keep it from the youngest until they can appreciate it, but read it aloud alone together every Valentine's day. In "Is Shakespeare Dead?" Twain entered the Shakespeare authorship debate with a bang. The work is pure Twain brilliance. Twain begins by listing the absolute known facts about Shakespeare of Stratford, which can fit nicely on one sheet of paper. He then examines the thousands of pages of Stratford Shakespeare biographies written by academics, and in his own hilariously sarcastic way mocks these "surmisers of surmised facts" explaining how they have inflated a "chipmunk's trail through Stratford" into a literary "Hercules" of renown. Twain next speaks of "authentic authorship" by pointing out with convincing detail that unless you have walked the walk, you can't talk the talk. For example, he says Bret Harte attempted to write stories about life as a Mississipi riverboat captain or a sailor on the high seas, but that any real riverboat captain or sailor could tell in the first few lines that Harte was writing from book learning, not from actual experience as a captain or sailor. Twain nicely says that authors (no matter how brilliant) can't fake the language and tone of real experience when it comes to endeavors involving high levels of skill. You have to walk the walk to convincingly talk the talk. He then proceeds to point out one simple fact: the Shake-speare canon was written by a man who was deeply experienced in sixteenth-century law and legal procedures--as numerous legal historians of that period have attested--deeply experienced, not just a law clerk for a short period. Twain then proceeds to point out that not one shred of evidence exists that Stratford Shakespeare even served as a law clerk, let alone a deeply experienced barrister or judge.read more Book Description: Chatto & Windus, U.K., Hardcover.

5 Faulkner, he was the first truly American writer, and for Eugene O Neill, the true father of American literature. Ernest Hemingway famously asserted that all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. During his lifetime and in the hundred years since his death, Mark Twain has been one of the most beloved and widely read of authors, not just in America but around the world. He has been especially cherished by other writers, who have drawn inspiration from many different aspects of his work. The Mark Twain Anthology brings together the words of over 60 writers, from his earliest reviewers to today, probing the many facets of Mark Twain: his incomparable humor, his revolutionary use of vernacular language, his exploration of the realities of American life, his irreverence and skepticism, his profound grappling with issues of race, his fearless opposition to the injustices and outrages of an imperialistic age. The range of voices is extraordinarily diverse, a tribute to the diversity and complexity of Twain s art. During his lifetime Twain was reviewed, interviewed, and assessed by writers as different as Lafcadio Hearn, José Martí, Rudyard Kipling, and George Bernard Shaw. They were joined, in the century that followed, by G. K. Chesterton, H. L. Mencken, Jorge Luis Borges, Theodore Dreiser, George Orwell, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Ralph Ellison, and many others, with recent commentary by David Bradley, Erica Jong, Toni Morrison, Gore Vidal, Kurt Vonnegut, Dick Gregory, Min Jin Lee, and Roy Blount Jr. Of special interest is Twain s international impact. The Mark Twain Anthology presents a broad selection of responses to Twain from Europe, Asia, and Latin America, many of the pieces translated for the first time. The book also includes a selection of visual tributes to Twain (by artists ranging from James Montgomery Flagg to Jean Cocteau to Chuck Jones) and a sampler of shorter comments by individuals as varied as Friedrich Nietzsche, Harry S. Truman, Richard Pryor, Gertrude Stein, and Charles Darwin. Shelley Fisher Fishkin, volume editor, is Professor of English and Director of American Studies at Stanford University. She is the author or editor of 33 books on Mark Twain including Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture; Was Huck Black? Mark Twain and African-American Voices; Mark Twain s Book of Animals; and the 29-volume Oxford Mark Twain. She has served as president of the American Studies Association and of the Mark Twain Circle of America, and was a producer of Mark Twain s Is He Dead? on Broadway. She is a founding editor of the Journal of Transnational American Studies.
