Product Description
Review
"The Oxford editions are charming--thank you."--Josephine Treuschler, College of Notre Dame
"This is much-needed publication: as clear, readable text of Tom Sawyer which is affordable also. The textual notes are very good, and Lee Mitchell's introduction is simply splendid."--Randal Allred, Brigham Young University--Hawaii
"A very readable text."--E.N. Feltskog, University of Wisconsin
"Important and useful to have a new scholarly edition of what is more than a preface to Huckleberry Finn."--Benjamin S. Lawson, Albany State College
"A welcome addition to an impressive, attractive series."--Kenneth Lee Taylor, University of Maine at Presque Isle
"A very well-edited text."--Robert Barton, Rutgers University
"Excellent and handsome."--Benjamin Franklin, University of South Carolina
"Lee Mitchell's introduction is a valuable contribution to criticism."--Robert Reyan, University of Pennsylvania
Product Description
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) is Mark Twain's most popular book, and its hero is a national icon, celebrated as a distinctively American figure both at home and abroad. Tom Sawyer's bold spirit, winsome smile, and inventive solutions to the problems of everyday life in fictional St Petersburg - whether getting his friends to whitewash a fence for him, or escaping the demands of his vigilant Aunt Polly - have won him the hearts of generations. The very success of the novel has obscured its contradictions and the extent to which the author's response to contemporary cultural developments was a mixed one. "Tom Sawyer" is not only a deft comedy and a powerful celebration of childhood. It also reflects how Mark Twain was in the process of finding his distinctive voice, a voice with which he could express the conflicts he felt about coming of age in America.
