Mark Twain Project
Preparation for print publication of five volumes of works by Mark Twain (1835-1910) and updates to the Mark Twain Project Online. (36 months)
The Mark Twain Project asks support for a full-scale critical edition of Following the Equator, and for work needed to publish, both in print and on its digital edition, Mark Twain Project Online (MTPO), three major volumes in the Works of Mark Twain series: Pudd’nhead Wilson, The Innocents Abroad, and San Francisco Correspondence 1865-1866. The first two of these are also to be adapted for publication in the Mark Twain Library series, which brings the critically-established texts and explanatory notes to general readers and classrooms. Mark Twain's Letters, Volume 7 is to be prepared for publication on MTPO, along with five other editions already published in print by the UC Press; and the texts of 1,405 Mark Twain letters are to be transcribed, edited, supplied with critical apparatus, and published online. Support is sought for the ongoing management and curation of the project's textual and image datasets, improvements to the digital infrastructure, and development of MTPO's features and interface.

Mark Twain Project
Preparation for print and digital publication of four volumes of works by Mark Twain (1835-1910) and updates to the Mark Twain Project Online. (12 months)
This proposal would enable us to publish, in print and electronically at Mark Twain Project Online (MTPO), four major critical editions on which work is already in an advanced state: The Innocents Abroad, a classic of the American encounter with Europe and the Near East; a two-text edition of Pudd'nhead Wilson, the author's frankest engagement with racism and one of the most studied and read of his novels; San Francisco Correspondence, 1865-1866, collecting his surviving writing for the Virginia City (Nevada) Territorial Enterprise, provided with the annotation that alone can make this context-bound journalism understandable; and Mark Twain's Letters, Volume 7: 1876-1877. In addition the editors propose to publish two volumes (Innocents and Pudd'nhead), in the Mark Twain Library series, which brings the critically edited texts and notes to a wider reading audience. By the end of the grant period we will publish on MTPO edited texts of all of Mark Twain's letters from 1881 through 1887.

Mark Twain Project
The preparation for simultaneous print and online publication of Volume 3 of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, completion of editorial work on Twain's San Francisco Correspondence and The Innocents Abroad, and the addition of several of the project's print editions to the open access website. (24 months)
The Mark Twain Project proposes to proofread and index Volume 3 of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, publishing it in print and on its open-access website (MTPO) by the end of 2015. (Volume 1 was so published in November 2010 and has sold half a million copies; Volume 2 was published in October 2013 and 100,000 copies have been printed.) The Project also proposes to complete all editorial work on two important early works in Mark Twain's canon: San Francisco Correspondence, 1865-1866 (some of his brilliant journalism collected for the first time) and The Innocents Abroad, or The New Pilgrim's Progress (his first international bestseller). The Project also proposes to add the complete text of its print editions of Tom Sawyer and Notebooks & Journals, Volume 1 to MTPO, along with more letters (through 1883). And it plans to make various necessary upgrades and improvements to the infrastructure of MTPO, such as converting from TEI P4 to TEI P5.

Mark Twain Project
The preparation for simultaneous print and online publication of Volume 3 of American author and humorist Mark Twain's Autobiography, online publication of his letters from 1881-83, and online publication of two novels previously issued as print editions. (24 months)
The Mark Twain Project proposes to complete Volume 3 of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, by far the largest and arguably the most important of the works Mark Twain left deliberately unpublished at his death in 1910. Volume 3 is the last volume in this title, and like Volumes 1 and 2 before it, will be published simultaneously in print and on the Project’s website, MTPO. (Volume 1 was published in November 2010 and has sold approximately half a million copies; Volume 2 is on schedule to be published in June 2013.) The three volumes together will comprise the first complete, accurate, annotated, and authorial text ever published of the Autobiography. The Project also proposes to add the complete text of its print editions of Tom Sawyer and Connecticut Yankee to MTPO, along with another three years of letters (through 1883). And it plans to make various necessary upgrades and improvements to the infrastructure of MTPO, such as converting from TEI P4 to TEI P5.

Completion of editorial work on electronic and print publications of Volume 2 and beginning work on Volume 3 of Mark Twain's Autobiography; continued adding of Twain's major works and letters to the Mark Twain Project Online (MTPO); updating online platform to current standards. (24 months)
The Mark Twain Project proposes to complete Volume 2 of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, by far the largest and arguably the most important of the works that Mark Twain left deliberately unpublished at his death in 1910. Volume 2 will, like Volume 1 before it, be published both in print and on the Project's website, MTPO. (Volume 1 is now at the press and due out in August 2010.) One more volume will complete this, the first comprehensive edition of Mark Twain's last, major literary work. The Project also proposes to add the complete text of its print editions of Tom Sawyer and Connecticut Yankee to MTPO, along with another ten years of letters (through 1895). And it intends to make various necessary but challenging improvements and upgrades to the infrastructure of MTPO, which has recently been approved by the Committee on Scholarly Editions of the MLA.

The Mark Twain Project
Completion of editorial work on electronic and print publications of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, and continued adding of Twain's major works to the Mark Twain Project Online. (36 months)
If funded, this proposal would enable the professional staff of the Mark Twain Project to finish preparing the Autobiography of Mark Twain, publishing the first third electronically on its new web site, Mark Twain Project Online, and also the first of a three-volume print edition, by the centenary of Mark Twain's death in 2010. The Autobiography is by far the largest and arguably the most important of the works that Mark Twain left deliberately unpublished, specifically prohibiting publication of parts of it for one hundred years after his death. Its publication in complete form will be a signal event both in Mark Twain studies and in the world of American literature. This proposal will also allow the editors to continue populating Mark Twain Project Online with editions of Mark Twain's major works, drawing on converted forms of the twenty-six scholarly volumes they have published to date.

The Mark Twain Project
Completion of an electronic online edition of Mark Twain's Letters and editorial work and XML encoding of Twain's Autobiographical writings. (24 months)
The Mark Twain Project of the Bancroft Library seeks funding for editorial work and XML encoding of a scholarly edition of Mark Twain's Autobiography, the largest and arguably the most important of the manuscripts Mark Twain left deliberately unpublished, forbidding publication until 100 years after his death. This edition will be published in 2010 through Mark Twain's Writings Online; the text and notes will also be issued in 3 printed volumes by the University of California Press. The editors will identify persons, places, and events in editorial notes. They will establish the text from several thousand pages of manuscript and typescript and will identify and report on which changes are authorial and which are by A. B. Paine.

The Mark Twain Project
An electronic edition of Mark Twain's Complete Letters, 1853-1910 and Mark Twain's Complete Notebooks & Journals, 1855-1910. (36 months)
The Mark Twain Project of the University of California, Bancroft Library, seeks funding to complete the Electronic Edition of Mark Twain's Complete Letters, 1853-1910, and an Electronic Edition of Mark Twain's Complete Notebook & Journals, 1855-1910. These two publications will provide scholars and general readers alike with unprecedented access to Mark Twain's most personal documents: some 11,000 letters and 50 notebooks, which best preserve the details, in all their immediacy, of his intense and complex life as author, businessman, family man, public figure, and American. These digital projects are freestanding components of a proposed Electronic Edition of Mark Twain's Complete Works and Papers, an ambitious effort to provide online access via the World Wide Web to responsibly edited texts of Mark Twain's complete corpus.
