Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. 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. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
