内容简介Since the time of its publication in 1884, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has generated heated controversy. One of the most frequently banned books in the history of literature, it raises issues of race relations, censorship, civil disobedience, and adolescent group psychology as relevant today as they were in the 1880s. This collection of historical documents, collateral readings,and commentary captures the stormy character of the slave-holding frontier on the eve of war and highlights the legacy of past conflicts in contemporary society. These materials will promote interdisciplinary study of the novel and enrich the student's understanding of the issues raised.

序言The Concord（Mass）Public Library committee has decided to ex-clude Mark Twain’S latest book from the library．One member ofthe committee says that，while he does not wish to call it immoral．he thinks it contains but linle humor,and that of a very coarse type．He regards it as the veriest trash．The librarian and the other mem-bers of the committee entertain similar views，characterizing it asrough，coarse and inelegant，dealing with a series of experiencesnot elevating，the whole book being more suited to the slums thanto intelligent，respectable people．（Boston Transcript，March 17，1885）
The Concord Public Library was not the only group to condemnMark Twain’S Adventures of Huckleberry Finn．This novel aboutthe adventures of a fourteen．year-old boy has generated contro．versy in every year since it was published in 1884．“What！”thenewcomer to the．novel might exclaim－“this popular boy’S bookabout a happy and wholesome young life in rural America？”Yet，ironically,it is true．Even by the standards of the late twentiethcentury,Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn is one of the most radicaland darkly bitter books in the American canon．What does it pres．ent as good and worthy？For one thing，it represents the breakingof a federal Iaw as moral．
文摘Literary Analysis：AdventuresofHuckleberry Finn andForms of Enslavement
THE FLUID STRUCTURE
Mark Twain’S Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn is．in the way it iSput together and in the various stories it tells．a repudiation oftraditional forms of plot structure．the rules and manners of gen．teel society,and the restraints civilization places upon the freespirit．In looking at the way the novel iS constructed．one can seethat Mark Twain has dispensed with a tightly constructed plot infavor of an episodic narrative that takes its form from nature．inthis case，the mighty Mississippi River flowing through the heart ofAmerica．A single，thoroughly American geographic feature notonly contributes to the novel’S endorsement of freedom and na．ture，it iS also a key to and a reflection of the book’S structure．Theaction of the noveI iS comprised of numerous episodes which areheld together,not by the usual kind of plot，but by the river itselfEpisodes occur on the river or close by the river，and there iSalways a return to the river．Because of its episodic nature．thenovel’S form can best be described as picaresque，meaning“anovel of the road，”in this case，a journey on the river．The unifyingelements in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are the character ofHuck，who relates the story and is always in the middle of theaction。
