Description

This critical edition is designed for "teaching the conflicts" surrounding Mark Twain's classic novel. It reprints the 1885 text of the first American edition (with a portfolio of illustrations) along with critical essays representing major critical and cultural controversies surrounding the work. In addition to several new critical essays, the second edition includes an appendix on how to argue about the novel so that students may effectively enter the critical conversation about its issues.
