Abstract
Two very different but excellent editions highlight the year. Henry Wonham edits a special issue of American Literary Realism, “Mark Twain and Economy”; Chad Rohman takes over the editorship of The Mark Twain Annual; and Alan Gribben brings the Mark Twain Journal back to a current publication schedule. Gribben also institutes a new feature, “Legacy Scholars,” overviews of the careers of prominent Twain scholars: the first, which I was honored to write, profiles David E. E. Sloane (MTJ 52, i: 9–17), and the second Lawrence I. Berkove, written by Joseph Csicsila (MTJ 52, ii: 9–23). The year brings more articles on Twain than in recent years, spanning his career but with particular emphasis on Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, especially the ending, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
