520 _a"Mark Twain: A Biography. Volume II, Part 2: 1886-1900" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a biographical account written during the early 20th century. The book covers the later years of the celebrated author Mark Twain, focusing on his personal and literary pursuits from 1886 to 1900. Throughout this volume, the narrative captures Twain's evolving interests, such as his engagement with the poetry of Robert Browning, his perspectives on contemporary authors like George Meredith, and his political activism that reflects his outspoken social views. The opening of this biography presents Twain in the midst of rich literary engagements and personal reflections. It describes his newfound passion for Browning's poetry during the winter of 1886-87, highlighting how he painstakingly analyzed and read it aloud to friends, enhancing their understanding through his interpretations. Additionally, we learn about Twain's skeptical views on George Meredith's work and his retreat into familiar literary favorites as he grappled with the changes brought about by age. The narrative also touches on his business endeavors, such as a new interest in memory practices that he later denounced, and his interactions with notable figures of the time, setting the stage for a complex and multifaceted portrayal of this iconic American writer.
