I am seeking the advice of list members about a new project related to Mark Twain and the Tudors. I am a Professor of History and Head of the Department of History and Political Science at Southeastern Louisiana University. My principal area of expertise is Tudor England, and my most recent publication, co-authored with Sue Parrill, is a book titled *The Tudors on Film and Television* (McFarland 2013), about which you can learn more at www.tudorsonfilm.com. I have been interested for a long time in Mark Twain’s fascination with the Tudors and the manner in which he depicts them, most obviously in *The Prince and the Pauper*, *1601*, Tom Sawyer’s hilarious butchering of history in *Huckleberry Finn*, and his observations about Shakespeare, but also in comments sprinkled through other writings. Although a good bit has been written about *The Prince and the Pauper*, there seems to be no broader survey of Twain and the Tudors. Having written about the Tudors in popular culture and read extensively in Twain’s corpus, I am in the early stages of writing such a study. I have contacted the Huntington Library, the Mark Twain Papers and Project at the University of California at Berkeley, and several online Twain sites, and I have begun compiling a bibliography. However, I will be most grateful for any suggestions that list members may have. Thanks! Bill -- William B.
