Congratulations to Alan Gribben for having his impressive scholarship recognized in _The Guardian_. It's a bit of a shame that the writer of the piece doesn't know what New Historicism is, but that doesn't tarnish the value of what he's written about Alan's indispensable work. --LH Larry Howe Professor of English & Film Studies Department of Literature and Languages Roosevelt University Editor, Studies in American Humor President, Mark Twain Circle of America ________________________________________ From: Mark Twain Forum <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Hal Bush <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 10:43:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Twainian in the Guardian ...
