Mark Twain, Travel Books, and Tourism

Treats Mark Twain's travel narratives in the context of his contemporary travel writers and a burgeoning tourism culture. This book shows that Twain's 5 major travel narratives - ""The Innocents Abroad"", ""Roughing It"", ""Life on the Mississippi"", ""A Tramp Abroad"", and ""Following the Equator"" - demonstrate his mastery and reinvention of the genre.
