My e-mail address will change at the end of the month, so I want to repost
the call for papers that Rick posted not long ago.

While we've lined up a few potential contributors, we are still seeking
more.  We certainly will not complain if ALL of our contributors come from
the ranks of this forum!


MARK TWAIN AMONG THE CRITICS: CALL FOR ESSAYS

Twentieth-century critics have often concerned themselves with various
sub-and extra-literary questions about Mark Twain--whether he practiced
"bad faith" in his work, whether he subverted his genius to the status quo
of the Gilded Age, whether he was a plagiarist, an opportunist, a racist, a
sexist, an imperialist, a drunkard, a psychopath, a homosexual, a
pedophile, etc. etc. Unpublished and recently published essays on the
skeptical side of these questions (and essays on the implications of such
questions) are invited for a proposed volume edited by Jim McWillams and
Rick Hill. Payment will be in copies of the book and/or a small honorarium,
pending final arrangements with the publisher. Essays should be 10-20
manuscript pages and follow the Chicago manual of style. Send one paper
copy of abstract or complete manuscript (or a photocopy of published work)
along with a vita and S.A.S.E. to Rick Hill, Department of English, Taylor
University, Upland IN 46989 by August 1, 1997. For further information,
call or e-mail:

Rick Hill: (765) 998-4971; [log in to unmask]
Jim McWilliams: (308) 436-4804; [log in to unmask]
