Abstract | The essay reexamines traditional readings of the cultural origins of Samuel Clemens's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". It particularly takes issue with accounts which continue to relate Clemens's aesthetic and political legacy to an essentialist interpretation of oral frontier traditions and to phonocentric conceptions of voice and vernacular storytelling. Instead, the essay stresses the professional and literary background to Clemens`s regionalist legacy, pointing out the complex and contrary mediations that went into the composition of the yarn which has been so influential for a phono-centered genealogy of American literary history.
