About the Series
Read by more than 12 million students over fifty-five years, Norton Critical Editions set the standard for apparatus that is right for undergraduate readers. The three-part format-annotated text, contexts, and criticism-helps students to better understand, analyze, and appreciate the literature, while opening a wide range of teaching possibilities for instructors. Whether in print or in digital format, Norton Critical Editions provide all the resources students need.
The materials and notations were excellent and useful. They often lead the students to further inquiry. It is a valuable text.

I have generally found the editorial annotations excellent. Overall I still find this the best critical edition of Huck Finn for my students.
