Title
Mark Twain and His Canadian Publishers: A Second Look
Abstract
The author outlines the history of the publication of American author Mark Twain's books in Canada between 1870 and 1890. Twain's authorized publisher in Canada was Dawson Brothers of Montreal. There were at the same time a series of Toronto publishers, as well as Lovells on Montreal, distributing Twain's and other American authors' books without permission, whom the Americans referred to as "pirates," "buccaneers," "thieves," and "villains." In 1891, the United States and Great Britain entered into a reciprocal copyright agreement that also applied to British dominions, and which ended the piracy of American authors’ works in Canada.
