Dear Colleagues - In the course of tracking down a student plagiarism, I came across a web site that sells papers about Mark Twain to students (I was impressed that Twain merited his own special plagiarism site). http://www.mark-twain-essays.com Anyway, I noticed that several of the papers they were selling were themselves plagiarized. The most egregious example I noticed was a couple of essays for sale titled "A Case Study in Critical Controversy" which steal directly and indirectly from the critical commentary written by Gerald Graff and James Phelan for the Bedford St Martin's Press versions of Huckleberry Finn. I wrote a nasty note to the site (as if they care about their quality control....hah!), but if you have published any widely-available critical commentary on Twain, it might be worth your while to peruse this site and see if they are selling your material for other people to pass off as their own.
