Writers: Mark Twain

A fine source of Twainiana: Quotations, newspaper archives and related resources, collected by Barbara Schmidt, featuring graphics and photographs from the Dave Thomson collection. Included are a "Chronology of Known Mark Twain Speeches, Public Readings and Lectures" and a list of publications with Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens interviews, many with links. A great place to hang around for a few hours.

Writing: Mark Twain's Mississippi

"This web site [from Northern Illinois University Library] provides a fully searchable and indexed digital library...placing special emphasis upon Twain's Mississippi novels and reminiscences (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi). These works serve as lenses through which the public may explore additional text, image and sound materials...describing the Mississippi Valley that Mark Twain remembered and imagined in writing his classic works of literature." -- from the website. <http://dig.lib.niu.edu/twain/>
