MARK TWAIN: THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN

Mark Twain has variously been described as “The Abraham Lincoln of American Literature” and “The George Washington of American Letters” since the publication of his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Itinerant printer and journalist, steamboat pilot, lecturer and humorist, Twain occupies a unique position in American literature as he unfolds the odyssey of his child-hero and a runaway slave in the novel which has fascinated readers for over a century now. This present critical study provides the background to American fiction, discusses the influences on Twain and analyses the text from various angles, as also examines the critical problems arising therefrom for the benefit of university students. Shakti Batra has been Vice-Principal, Dyal Singh College (University of Delhi). He has also taught at the Kabul University and the International university of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek as well as students from the Tibetan Public Service Commission, Dharamsala, and Kiyushu University, Japan.
