The Mark Twain Circle has posted two calls for papers for the 2013 MLA convention (Boston, MA; January 3-6, 2013), as follows: 1. Open call for papers on any topic related to Mark Twain and his work. Brief abstracts by 10 March 2012; James S. Leonard ([log in to unmask]). 2. Papers on global versus provincial perspectives in the works of Mark Twain and/or Henry James. Comparisons of modern and late-modern or postmodern globalization especially welcomed. Brief abstracts by 10 March 2012; James S. Leonard ([log in to unmask]). Session 2 is jointly sponsored by the Henry James Society--a sequel to the Mark Twain and Henry James session planned for the 2012 ALA meeting in San Francisco. --Jim Leonard
