  • Twain, Mark. The Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts. (2005)

Most mainstream editions of The Mysterious Stranger are combinations of several manuscripts Twain was writing at the time of his death. Since his literary executor intervened throughout its publication, Twain scholars have questioned how much of the book is an accurate representation of his thought process. An answer to this question comes in the form of The Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts, as published by the University of California Press. This work shares the unaltered versions of the original manuscripts and will likely prove enlightening to readers who want to further explore the story.
