Jeffrey Alan Melton is Associate Professor of English at Auburn University-Montgomery.
"Worthwhile reading for humor scholars, Twainiacs, and those
interested in travel and travel theory generally." -- Choice
"This book should be compelling to anyone interested in Twain,
travel writing, or Americans' attitudes about travel. It may be a
testament to Twain's enduring insights--or maybe just proof that
human nature doesn't change--that his observations about American
travelers are as relevant in the age of the jet as they were in the
days of the steamship"--Foreword
"Melton's book addresses the issues of race, imperialism and
culture in a measured, thoughtful way. . . . Melton is making
deliberate headway and guiding the reader upstream, not simply
allowing the reader to be swept passively along with the
tide"--Mark Twain Forum
