摘要

摘要:马克·吐温的《一桩谋杀案、一桩悬疑案与一段婚姻》于2001年首次合法出版。在最后一章中，我们了解到这个恶棍曾经为儒勒·凡尔纳工作，后来又谋杀了他。这部作品意义重大，因为它是吐温小说中对这位法国作家最突出的公开提及;然而，吐温在1877年至1878年与他的兄弟奥里翁·克莱门斯的通信表明，在他们交流之后，吐温将凡尔纳纳入了他的作品中。这就意味着手稿并非如之前所认为的那样写于1876年。如果是这样的话，这就表明了吐温对凡尔纳的蔑视持续了很长时间，以及奥里翁·克莱门斯在形成这种负面批评观点和塑造手稿最后一章方面所起的作用。

The Mysterious Origins of Twain’s “Skeleton Novelette”

Abstract:Twain’s “A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage” was first published legally in 2001. In its final chapter, we learn the villain once worked for and subsequently murdered Jules Verne. The work is significant as the most prominent overt mention of the French author in Twain’s fiction; however, Twain’s correspondence with his brother Orion Clemens in 1877–78 suggests that Twain incorporated Verne into the work after their exchange. This would mean the manuscript was not written in 1876 as previously thought. If that is the case, it shows the duration of Twain’s dismissal of Verne and the role Orion Clemens played in developing that negative critical view and shaping the manuscript’s final chapter.
