I agree that it should be taken in a historical context, Harry.
But a young black person today might well feel affronted when reading the term scattered throughout a "classic" text. The status of the work lends a sort of tacit approval of the term.
I've uploaded books that use this term, but I try to include a mention in the description, so that readers are prepared, and can choose not to read it. However, perhaps I'm over-sensitive.
