简介

Franklin's Autobiography is the only enduring best-seller written in America before the nineteenth century as well as the most popular autobiography ever written. As such it deserves to be offered to twenty-first-century readers in the mostaccurate form possible. And so it is, in this Norton Critical Edition, thefirst text to be edited direct]y from the manuscripts, rather than perpet-uating the errors of previous editions. The text is fully annotated, and thereading is assisted by helpful footnotes, biographical sketches, and twomaps.
