johnridleyThe Life and Works of Mark Twain
Good, short lecture series, 24 x 30 minutes. He covered a lot of ways to read most of Twain's work, while also pointing out "while it's valid to read this this way or that way, it's doubtful that Twain meant it like that."
Also covered Clemens' life, especially as it lead and affected his work. And a lot of rare material (unpublished stuff) was talked about.
The lecturer is one of the leading Twain scholars. Definitely worth the time.
