In Pudd'nhedd Wilson (1897), Mark Twain looked back to the same antebellum Southern life he had recorded in Tom Sawyer and Hucklebervy Finn. What he found there, however, could not be reconclled with the Me he had previously memorialized. Confronted by violent white Southern backlash against Ahican Americans and the wild economic disparities and swift changes of the Gilded Age, Twain produoed a famously frachred and fantastlc novel. Switched babies, white-skinned "black" slaves, a man dressed as a woman, a woman dressed as a man, masters who are slaves and slaves who become masters, a son who sells his own mother down the rivet a mother who has given her son an entire different identity (and can take it away) with a pair of dispos-sessed twin Italian counts thrown in for good measure-the world of Pudd'nhead Wilson is a world of reversals, disgulses, and duplicity.
