<P>The <i>Encyclopedia's</i> more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries cover a full variety of topics on this major American writer's life, intellectual milieu, literary career, and achievements. Because so much of Twain's travel narratives, essays, letters, sketches, autobiography, journalism and fiction reflect his personal experience, particular attention is given to the delicate relationship between art and life, between artistic interpretations and their factual source.<br>The coverage ranges over the full spectrum of Twain's life and times: the author's childhood in Missouri and apprenticeship as a riverboat pilot, early career as a journalist in the West, world travels, friendships with well-known figures, reading and education, family life, career as a businessman-in short, the names, dates, places and events germane to an understanding of the artist.<br>In addition to biographical information, Twain's novels and travel narratives, and most of his short stories, sketches, burlesques, and essays |
