Shutt delivers a thought-provoking exploration of the worlds of two of the greatest authors of the 19th century: Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. Although these literary giants lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic, fascinating comparisons can be made in their use of language, humor, evocation of character, and evaluation of the social world.
