 Call for Papers:  Mark Twain:  The Gilded Age
 Exposed
 
 Mark Twain's The Gilded Age reveals the corruption beneath
 the spectacular =
 glitter of the period.  Mark Twain coined the phrase
 the Gilded Age for the=
  latter 19th Century and the generation in which he
 wrote.  It was marked b=
 y the Gold Rush to the western state of California, as well
 as the glorifie=
 d American Eastern Culture of the Literati, the very rich,
 and the very fam=
 ous.  He even wrote of the First Families of Virginia
 who migrated west of =
 the Mississippi and held the positions of power in the
 burgeoning frontier.=
   Because of the diversity of his writing, including
 fiction, travel writin=
 gs and lecture tours, his ideas encompass these American
 dreams of glamour,=
  decadence and celebrity.  Please submit your abstracts
 or papers regarding=
  these ideas by February 1, 2016 to Carolyn Leutzinger
 Richey via email to =
 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
 or by regular mail to:
 Carolyn Leutzinger Richey

 Because this is a special session which I am trying to
 establish as a regul=
 ar session on Mark Twain, I encourage all of you to consider
 sending an abs=
 tract or paper.  I realize that there is a conflict
 with the SAMLA Conferen=
 ce, but there's room for us all!
 
 Thanks,
 
 Carolyn
