This Norton Critical Edition of Twain's classic tale is based on the 1876 first American edition,widely recognized as the most authoritative text published in the author's lifetime. The novel is accompanied by a preface, original illustrations, explanatory annotations, "A Note on the Text," and a list of textual variants.
"Backgrounds and Sources" includes both standard materials and lesser-known works--together they provide a rich context for The Adveutures of Tom Sawyer. Materials are organized the-matically and center on biographical backgrounds, nineteenth-century education, nineteenth-century medicine, social and regional contexts, literary contexts, and the composition of the novel. Especially noteworthy are Twain's "Miss Clapp's School,"his seldom-seen satiric piece on school exercises that fore-shadows a similarly satiric scene in the novel, and K. Patrick Ober's "Fire in a Liquid Form," a discussion of the popular Perry Davis's Pain Killer and other nineteenth-century nostrums.
"Criticism" collects seven thought-provoking essays on the novel. Contributors include William Dean Howells, Hamlin L. Hill, Judith Fetterley, Alan Gribben, Glenn Hendler, Carter Revard, and Susan B. Gannon.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
