What is Mark Twain on the Damned Human Race about?

xviii, 259 pages ; 21 cm This volume reveals Mark Twain's deep concern for the human race, whether persecuted, persecuting, corrupt, corrupting, or damned. It presents a side of his genius that has been largely neglected by present-day critics and editors. In these angry and hilarious selections (mostly written in the early years of the twentieth century), many of them long out of print and some appearing in book form for the first time, we find Mark Twain in the role of satirist and bitter critic of social injustice, rather than the better known one of gentle humorist and storyteller. -- From publisher's description Includes bibliographical references On the damned race.
