Established in 1989, the Center for Mark Twain Studies “International Conference on the State of Mark Twain Studies” is the oldest and largest gathering devoted to all things Twain.

We cannot recommend the experience enough. Join us in 2022 and keep an eye out for the call for papers, dropping summer 2021 at marktwainstudies.org.
