Mark Twain, World Traveler
At 17, Samuel Clemens told his mother “I want to move, move, MOVE!” Move he did, with travel serving as a central feature of his personal life and the driving engine for much of his writing career. From mining towns in Nevada and California to dispatches sent from Hawaii and the Holy Land, Twain built a solid career as a journalist and travel writer before achieving success as a fiction writer, but he never left travel behind. Themes of travel, mobility, and cultural contact pervade his fiction, and its success was driven by Twain’s repeated national and global speaking tours. This program explores Twain’s experience with and relationship to travel, including its effect on his social views.
