Brookfield Library Presents Mark Twain in the Margins on January 6 Written by Brookfield Library
Mark Twain in the Margins Wednesday, January 6 at 6:30 pm on Zoom
Join Mallory Howard, Assistant Curator at the Mark Twain House and Museum, for “Mark Twain in the Margins” via Zoom. Mark Twain had a lifelong habit of writing in the margins of the books he read and it did not always matter whether the book actually belonged to him. He commented acerbically on the authors and their work, and made comments that tell us about the man and his thoughts. His marginalia are his “conversations” with the books he was reading, and there are many examples of this in the library collection of the Mark Twain House & Museum.
