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
