Popular from its first publication. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains at the centre of heated controversy. Is it an adult novel or juvenile fiction? Does it offer a reconciliation between black and white or is it racist trash? Is Huck a new model hero from the West or just another amoral prankster? Is Mark Twain's book part of the tall tales and journalistic buffooneries of the frontier or is it in the grandest of picaresque traditions linking the Odyssey to Don Quixote and Tom Jones? Harold Beaver reconciles these divergent views into a comprehensive and lively critical account of the novel and the complex debates which surround it.Harold Beaver has collected his essays on American literature in The Great American Masquerade (1985) and has edited Melville and Poe for the Penguin English Library. He has held the Chair of American Literature at the University of Amsterdam and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Denver, Colorado./Each volume in the Unwin Critical Library deals with a single work of literature. The aim of the series is to offer interpretation and informatioff at a high level of reliability and interest.
