Sanitizing Twain?

Here's a link to a story that ran on National Public Radio about the "Sanitized" novel. It gives you the major players in the debate, etc. If you're interested, there's a thought-provoking essay by Toni Morrison in the back of our book that presents a number of difficulties in assessing the impacts of Twain's novel and in thinking through the issue of sanitization and/or of requiring it as course reading.
