"Backgrounds and Contexts" provides students with the standard source materials often cited by critics--Twain's stories of Good and Bad Boys, his Boy's Manuscript, his correspondence with William Dean Howells, and his 1870 letter to Will Bowen. This section also includes lesser-known but valuable contextual materials, among them Twain's journalistic description of school exercise and the discussion of Perry Davis' Pain Killer and other nineteenth-century nostrums."Criticism" includes interpretations by William Dean Howells, Hamlin L. Hill, Judith Fetterley, Alan Gribben, Glenn Hendler, Carter Revard, and Susan R. Gannon.A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.… (altro)
Specifically, 4½**** to the Norton Critical Edition, although the novel itself is probably 5*****. One of the NCE articles (Hendler, "Masculinity and the Logic of Sympathy") is far too theoretical; and Gannon's article on the True Williams illustrations, though interesting, is too difficult to follow without the illustrations themselves. But Revard's article on the racism of Tom Sawyer (no, not as to Blacks, but as to the character of Injun Joe) is particularly illuminating, and the other articles are all quite good. Hence 4½****, because with an NCE the value of the book is more the supplementary material than the otherwise easily available main text. ( )
