摘要

摘要:本文认为马克吐温的西部是一个官僚管理的空间，他对西方制度的描写揭示了政治腐败的形式，而不是腐败。与最高法院最近将腐败限制在个人为换取政治利益而进行的金钱交换不同，吐温通过他的西方经历揭示的腐败是机构特有的，往往涉及善意的个人，他们没有以犯罪方式行事。

Political Corruption and Mark Twain’s West

Abstract:This article argues that Mark Twain’s West was a bureaucratically managed space and that his depictions of western institutions reveal forms of political corruption that are not venal. Unlike the corruption that the Supreme Court has recently limited to quid pro quo exchanges of money for political favors by individuals, the corruption that Twain reveals through the lens of his western experiences is endemic to institutions and can often involve well-meaning individuals who are not acting in criminal ways.
