During this time he wrote and published some of his best-known works, including Roughing It, The Gilded Age, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Tramp Abroad, The Prince and the Pauper, Life on the Mississippi, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Significant events include his trips to England (1872-73) and Bermuda (1877); the controversy over his Whittier Birthday Speech in December 1877; his 1878-79 Wanderjahr on the continent; his 1882 tour of the Mississippi valley; his 1884-85 reading tour with George Washington Cable; his relationships with his publishers (Elisha Bliss, James R. Osgood, Andrew Chatto, and Charles L. Webster); the death of his son, Langdon, and the births and childhoods of his daughters Susy, Clara, and Jean; as well as the several lawsuits and personal feuds in which he was involved. During these years, too, Clemens expressed his views on racial and gender equality and turned to political mugwumpery; supported the presidential campaigns of Grover Cleveland; advocated for labor rights, international copyright, and revolution in Russia; founded his own publishing firm; and befriended former president Ulysses S. Grant, supervising the publication of Grant's Memoirs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Elmira, Hartford, and on the stump -- Roughing it in London and Hartford -- Round trip -- Market Twain -- Afoot -- Delectable land -- Grand tour -- Coin of the realm -- Behind the scenes -- Down the river and far away -- Back story -- Lecture tour -- Gilded cage -- Bucking the tiger -- Vanity fair -- Camelot -- Nadir. 600 10 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. 600 10 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910 $x Homes and haunts. 600 17 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031622 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Humorists, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Scharnhorst, Gary, author. $t Life of Mark Twain $d Columbia : University of Missouri Press, [2019] $z 9780826274304 $w (DLC) 2018055461 830 0 $a Mark Twain and his circle series 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806080432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01BD9EB89C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
