"Early Letters of George Wm. Curtis to John S. Dwight; Brook Farm and Concord" by George William Curtis George William Curtis was an American writer and public speaker born in Providence, Rhode Island. An early Republican, he spoke in favor of African-American equality and civil rights both before and after the Civil War. His letters to Dwight, a transcendentalist, America's first influential classical music critic, show that, while politics might have been his forte, Dwight was able to discuss multiple matters of culture. Complete with a concise biography of the author, this book brings a lesser-known historic figure in America to light.

Prue and I is transcendentalist Mr. Curtis's account of the adventures of loyal housewife Prue and accountant Mr. Titbottom. George William Curtis writes fun and whimsical psychedelic adventure. Excerpt: "In the warm afternoons of the early summer, it is my pleasure to stroll about Washington Square and along Fifth Avenue, at the hour when the diners-out are hurrying to the tables of the wealthy and refined. I gaze with placid delight upon the cheerful expanse of a white waistcoat that illumes those streets at that hour, and mark the variety of emotions that swell beneath all that purity."

Dr. Alan Gribben, a foremost Twain scholar, made waves in 1980 with the publication of Mark Twain's Library, a study that exposed for the first time the breadth of Twain's reading and influences. Prior to Gribben's work, much of Twain's reading history was assumed lost, but through dogged searching Gribben was able to source much of Twain's library. Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions. This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions, locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions to our understanding of America's greatest author.
