I recently did a M.T. course and found problems not only with selecting editions but also with trying to include important, representative works of Twain AND criticism. How to do all this in one semester without expecting "too much" from students? My solution was to use the Norton Critical editions of Huck Finn ($10.75), Connecticut Yankee ($15.75), and Pudd'nhead Wilson ($12.75). I chose not to use the good editions from the M.T. Library and that was probably a mistake. Innocents Abroad, Roughing It, and Life on the Mississippi have inexpensive NAL editions. A good buy is Neider's Complete Short Stories of M.T. (Bantam, $6.50), but it includes the Paine version of Mysterious Stranger. There are also a few other collections of short stories out there, but they don't have as many selections in them or cost more money. The best I could do for Twain's later writings was De Voto's Letters from the Earth ($12.50). I found myself xeroxing material as well as it became necessary to clarify and illustrate points about Twain. Good luck and have fun talking about Twain. david dussere
