Like my thinking about MT, this site depends in more ways than I can consciously know or could explicitly acknowledge on the extraordinary amount of work that scholars and critics have done during the last half century on the life of Samuel Clemens and the works of Mark Twain. Listed here are only those works that were directly consulted during the construction of the archive, keyed electronically to the appropriate sections of the site.
