Made in Nevada: Mark Twain and the Literary Legacy of Place
Abstract:In this personal essay, environmental humor writer Michael P. Branch considers the influential ways in which Mark Twain represented the natural environment of the Great Basin Desert in his 1872 book Roughing It. While Twain was among the first writers to recognize the captivating beauty of the high desert, he also promoted a view of the desert as barren wasteland—a complex approach that produced a dual vision of the land that remains dominant today. However, while Twain helped to shape impressions of the Nevada landscape, the Nevada desert also helped to shape the writer Twain would become.
