Summaries and Reviews
Summary
A young slave woman switches her light-skinned newborn with her master's son at birth, and a terrible crime and courtroom drama eventually ensue.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Featuring the brilliantly drawn Roxanna, a mulatto slave who suffers dire consequences after switching her infant son with her masterâs baby, and the clever Puddânhead Wilson, an ostracized small-town lawyer, Twainâs darkly comic masterpiece is a provocative exploration of slavery and miscegenation. Leslie A. Fiedler described the novel as âhalf melodramatic detective story, half bleak tragedy,â noting that âmorally, it is one of the most honest books in our literature.â Those Extraordinary Twins, the slapstick story that evolved into Puddânhead Wilson, provides a fascinating view of the authorâs process.
The text for this Modern Library Paperback Classic was set from the 1894 first American edition.
