“Originally of Missouri, Now of the Universe”: Mark Twain and the World

Noted Twain scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin (The Oxford Mark Twain and The Mark Twain Anthology), professor of English, Stanford University, will look at Twain in a global context, exploring what he learned from his travels and what readers and writers around the world learned from him.
