As such it deserves to be offered to twentiethcentury readers in the most accurate form possible, and so it is, in this Norton Critical Edition, the first text to be edited directly from the manuscripts,rather than perpetuating the errors of previous editions.The text is fully annotated, and the reading is assisted by helpful footnotes, biographical sketches, and two maps.In 'Backgrounds', the editors collect Franklins most important reflections on the Autobiographys purpose, some anecdotes, and a number of Franklins statements on wealth, the art of virtue, and perfection. Materials in 'Criticism' range from contemporary opinionswhich reveal that readers were divided then as they are now about the art of the Autobiographyto essays written in the twentieth century.Nineteenthcentury opinions include those of John Keats, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, and William Dean Howells, among others.The twentiethcentury materials include D. H. Lawrences celebrated essay, an excerpt from Max Webers Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, and the perspectives of such recent critics as Charles L.Sanford, Robert Freeman Sayre, John William Ward, and David Devin.
