A new article, "Authors as Copyright Campaigners: Mark Twain's Legacy," by Catherine Seville, appears in Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA (Vol 55, no's 2-3, Winter-Spring 2008) , pp 283-360. I haven't finished reading it yet, but it is very thorough and covers Sam's involvement with copyright issues from early on in his career- re: British editions of The Innocents Abroad- to his well-known testimony concerning what became the 1909 Act, including his participation in the Author's Copyright League (of Extraordinary Gentlemen? ;-) ) .
