1601 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): Conversation As It Was by the Social Fireside in the Time of the Tudors

by Mark Twain

Overview

Not everything Twain wrote was family-friendly—least of all this hilariously bawdy sketch depicting a friendly chat on matters sexual and scatological among Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh, and others. Privately published by William Dean Howells in an edition of only six copies, here is a side of Mark Twain largely unknown.
