This classic novel of childhood is set in fictional St. Petersburg, a town based on Mark Twainâs hometown of Hannibal, Missouri. Twainâs recounting of Tom Sawyerâs many escapades is by turns nostalgic, satiric, wise, and hilarious. While this novel is often considered mainly as the precursor to Twainâs great work The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, it is abundantly worth considering for its own deft and loving transformation of autobiography into fiction.
In addition to the full text of the novel based on the first American edition, complete with a selection of the original illustrations by True Williams, this Broadview edition provides a wide range of appendices that place the novel in the context of 1840s rural America as well as 1870s literary America. These include materials on the composition and marketing of Tom Sawyer, selections from other âboy booksâ of the period, and historical documents relating to temperance, childrenâs literature, and schools.
