Proclaimed by H.L. Mencken as one of the great masterpieces of the
world and by Ernest Hemingway as the source of all modern American
literature, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains firmly
established in both the American and world literary canons as a
classic work of literature. Yet it continues to have its critical
detractors and still arouses the kind of impassioned controversy
that banned it from the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Library on
publication as trashy and vicious. The Critical Response to Mark
Twain's Huckleberry Finn contains newspaper articles, book reviews,
and scholarly essays spanning the period from the early response in
the 1880s, through the centennial celebration, to the present. The
collection reflects the major literary trends and issues of
response to Huckleberry Finn, such as the persistent attempts to
ban the book, the literary criticism concerning the book's ending,
and the many thematic interpretations. Among the essayists included
are literary figures such as T.S. Eliot and Twain specialist
scholars such as Walter Blair, Leo Marx, and James Cox. The text of
an ABC-TV Nightline News Special on the centennial, Huckleberry
Finn: Literature or Racist Trash is printed. Editor Champion
provides an introductory overview on the range and issues of
critical response, a feature on the various adaptations of
Huckleberry Finn, and a bibliography of additional scholarship. Of
interest to any scholar or researcher of Mark Twain, the collection
would be valuable to teachers and students reading Huckleberry Finn
at any level from high school upward.
