In line with developments elsewhere, I guess the transnational Twain is one area likely to be expored further, and following Amy Kaplan and John Carlos Rowe's lead. A young British scholar now working in the US, Alexis Haynes, has a forthcoming book, I believe, on this topic. Cheers. Pete (Messent) 

 

Folks, given the fact that we are holding this panel in Hannibal on
Saturday, I would be interested to know what LIST-members consider to be
some of the "Trends in Twain studies" in the near future?

Where do you see Twain scholarship going in productive and/or interesting
ways?  What are the major achievements of Twain scholars in recent years?
Who is doing some of the most compelling or groundbreaking work among the
younger contingent of Twain scholars?
