I'm chairing a panel called "Mark Twain at the Fin de Siecle" at next spring's North East MLA convention in Pittsburgh (April 16-17). I invite one-page abstracts by September 15 on any topic related to Mark Twain's later works or on Mark Twain's reception at the end of the present century. For more information about the conference, see NEMLA's website at www.anna-maria.edu/nemla Thanks, Kim Martin Long Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
