Description
In
Mark
Twain's
last
decade
, his
writings
took
a
sharp
turn
in
tone
from
colorful
satire
to
outright
bitterness
.
People
point
to the
death
of his
wife
and
two
of his
daughters
, but as
another
possible
explanation
,
Pitzer
President
Laura
Skandera
Trombley
-
who
in her
1994
book
,
Mark
Twain
in the
Company
of
Women
-
decided
to
focus
on a
hidden
figure
:
Isabel
Van
Kleek
Lyon
. In

Other
Woman
(published
by

,
President
Skandera
Trombley
describes
Twain's
relationship
with
Lyon
-
who
might
variously
be
described
as
Twain's
companion
,
secretary
, and
nurse
-
and how that
relationship
went
from
dependency
to
Twain's
furious
and
public
denunciation
of
Lyon
.
