Reviews"Louis J. Budd performs the service of tracing the growth of Twain's social and political convictions and thus showing his relationship to the age in which he lived. . . . Based upon extensive research in newspapers of the day, the personal letters, and other little-known material, as well as intensive analysis of the most relevant works by Twain, Budd's careful and balanced study is an important contribution."- Modern Fiction Newsletter, "Much has been written about Mark Twain's social and political attitudes, but Mark Twain: Social Philosopher is the most comprehensive study of the subject that has been made. Mr. Budd's treatment is thorough and detailed, supported by illuminating analysis and plentiful documentation. He presents his material well in a forthright, readable style that moves at a springy pace agreeably free from academic heavy-footedness."-- Indiana Magazine of History "Louis J.

Writing about Mark Twain in a fashion that would not make Mark Twain swear if he read the result is a test not often passed. Professor Budd passes it with flying colors."-- Mississippi Quarterly "Well written, vital, filled with a sharpness and humor reminiscent of Twain himself, [ Mark Twain: Social Philosopher ] is a penetrating and sustained analysis of Twain's development as a social critic, and shows his interest in the social issues of his day. It is a model of good criticism, honest analysis, and fine writing." -- American Writers in Rebellion "Anyone who wants to read Mark Twain against the changing background of his time will turn with gratitude to Mr. Budd's patient, unpretentious, and revealing book."-- Virginia Quarterly Review, "Well written, vital, filled with a sharpness and humor reminiscent of Twain himself, [ Mark Twain: Social Philosopher ] is a penetrating and sustained analysis of Twain's development as a social critic, and shows his interest in the social issues of his day.
