Ragged Dick: A Norton Critical Edition - Norton Critical Editions
Alger, Horatio, Jr.
Ragged Dick; or, Street Life in New York with the Boot Blacks is arguably the best known of Horatio Alger’s American rags-to-riches stories.
Publisher Marketing: It is canonical as a cultural text, rather than a purely literary one, as this Norton Critical Edition reflects. An extensive Contexts section includes maps, photographs, and documents showing how and why Alger used the backdrop of New York City to highlight problems of urban poverty, immigration, and child labor in mid-nineteenth century America. Criticism is thematically organized around contemporary reviews and responses, the heated public debate about whether Alger should be available in American public libraries, parodies of and related responses to Alger, and four recent critical essays by Mary Wroth Walsh, Glenn Hendler, Michael Moon, and Hildegard Hoeller.
Contributor Bio: Alger, Horatio, Jr A graduate of Duke with his PhD in higher education management from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Boston is President of the American Public University System. A Board Member of the Education Alliance promoting public/private partnerships serving K-12 public schools, he is a member of the Board of Overseers of the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education, the Advisory Board of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, the Arizona State University Education Innovation Advisory Board, and Avalere Health, LLC.
