'''''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''''' (often shortened to '''''Huck Finn''''') is a novel written by American [[humorist]] [[Mark Twain]]. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first [[Great American Novel]]s. It is also one of the first major American novels written using [[Regionalism (literature)|Local Color Regionalism]], or [[vernacular]], told in the first person by [[List of characters in the Tom Sawyer series#Huckleberry Finn|Huckleberry "Huck" Finn]], best friend of [[Tom Sawyer]] and hero of three other Mark Twain books. |
|||
The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the [[Mississippi River]]. By [[satire|satirizing]] [[Southern United States|Southern]] [[antebellum]] society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly [[racism]]. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend [[Jim (Huckleberry Finn)|Jim]], a runaway [[slavery|slave]], down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of [[American literature]]. |
|||
The book has been popular with young readers since its publication, and taken as a sequel to the comparatively innocuous ''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]''. It has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics. The book was criticized upon release because of its coarse language, and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger", which in the time setting of the book was an everyday term used to describe colored people and not considered offensive. |

==Publication history== |
|||
[[Image:Mark twain2.JPG|frame|left|[[Mark Twain]]]] |
|||
Twain initially conceived of the work as a companion to ''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]'' that would follow Huck Finn through adulthood. Beginning with a chapter he had deleted from the earlier novel, Twain began work on a manuscript he originally titled ''Huckleberry Finn's Autobiography.'' Twain worked on the manuscript off and on for the next several years, ultimately abandoning his original plan of following Huck's development into adulthood. He appeared to have lost interest in the manuscript while it was in progress, and set it aside for several years. After making a trip down the Mississippi, Twain returned to his work on the novel. Upon completion, the novel's title closely paralleled its predecessor's: ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Comrade)''.<ref name="AnnotatedTitle">{{cite book |last=Twain |first=Mark |authorlink=Mark Twain |others=introduction and annotations by [[Michael Patrick Hearn]] |title=The Annotated Huckleberry Finn |date=2001-10-01 |publisher=W.

|||
Unlike ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,'' Twain's ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' does not have the definite article "the" as a part of its proper title. Writer Sara Baker has hypothesized that this absence represents the fundamentally uncompleted nature of Huck's adventures — while Tom's adventures were completed (at least at the time) at the end of his novel, Huck's narrative ends with his stated intention to head West.<ref name=Young>{{cite book |last=Young |first=Philip |title=Ernest Hemingway: A Reconsideration |date=1966-12-01 |publisher=Penn State Press |id=ISBN 0-271-02092-X |pages=212}}</ref> |

Mark Twain composed the story in pen on notepaper between 1876 and 1883. The 665 pages of the original manuscript contain voluminous and lengthy changes and amendments that provide insights into Clemens's creative process. Paul Needham, who supervised the authentication of the manuscript for Sotheby's books and manuscripts department in New York in 1991, stated, "What you see is [Clemens's] attempt to move away from pure literary writing to dialect writing". For example, Twain revised the opening line of ''Huck Finn'' three times. He initially wrote, "You will not know about me," which he changed to, "You do not know about me," before settling on the final version, "You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'; but that ain't no matter."<ref name="nyt-reif">{{cite news | last = Reif | first = Rita | coauthors = | title = First Half of 'Huck Finn,' in Twain's Hand, Is Found | work = | pages = | language = | publisher = [[The New York Times]] | date = [[1991-02-14]] | url = http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE6D9103FF937A25751C0A967958260 | accessdate = 2008-02-10}}</ref> The revisions also show how Twain reworked his material to strengthen the characters of Huck and Jim, as well as his sensitivity to the then-current debate over literacy and voting.<ref name="antioch-baker">{{cite journal | last = Baker | first = William | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (book reviews) | journal = Antioch Review | volume = 54 | issue = 3 | pages = 363–4 | publisher = [[Antioch University]] | date = [[1996-06-01]]}}</ref> |

''Huck Finn'' was eventually published on December 10, 1884, in Canada and England, and on February 18, 1885, in the United States. The American publication was delayed because someone defaced an illustration on one of the plates creating an obscene joke. Thirty-thousand copies of the book had been printed before the obscenity was discovered. A new plate was made to correct the illustration and repair the existing copies.<ref name="Blair">{{cite book |last=Blair |first=Walter |title=Mark Twain & Huck Finn|year=1960 |publisher=University of California Press}}</ref> |

In 1885, the [[Buffalo & Erie County Public Library | Buffalo Public Library]], James Fraser Gluck, approached Twain to donate the manuscript to the Library. Twain sent half of the pages, believing the other half to have been lost by the printer. In 1991, the missing half turned up in a steamer trunk owned by descendants of Gluck. The Library successfully proved possession and, in 1994, opened the Mark Twain Room in its Central Library to showcase the treasure.<ref>Reif, Rita. Antiques: How Huck Finn was rescued.

==Plot summary== |
|||
[[Image:Huckleberry-finn-with-rabbit.jpg|thumb|right|Huckleberry Finn, as depicted by [[E. W. Kemble]] in the original 1884 edition of the book.]] |
|||
===Life in St. Petersburg=== |
|||
The story begins in fictional St. Petersburg, Missouri, on the [[Mississippi River]]. Two young boys, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, have each come into a considerable sum of money as a result of their earlier adventures (''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]''). Huck has been placed under the [[guardianship]] of the Widow Douglas, who, together with her sister, Miss Watson, are attempting to "sivilize" him (sic). Huck appreciates their efforts, but finds civilized life confining. In the beginning of the story, Tom Sawyer appears briefly, helping Huck escape at night from the house, past Miss Watson's slave, [[Jim (Huckleberry Finn)|Jim]]. They meet up with Tom Sawyer's self-proclaimed gang, who plot to carry out adventurous crimes. |
|||
Huck's life is changed by the sudden appearance of his shiftless father, "Pap", an abusive parent and drunkard. Although Huck is successful in preventing his Pap from acquiring his fortune, Pap forcibly gains custody of Huck and the two move to the backwoods where Huck is kept locked inside his father's cabin. Equally dissatisfied with life with his father, Huck escapes from the cabin, elaborately fakes his own death, and sets off down the Mississippi River. |
|||
===The Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons=== |
|||
While living quite comfortably in the wilderness along the Mississippi, Huck happily encounters Miss Watson's slave Jim on an island called Jackson's Island, and Huck learns that he has also run away. The two team up and shortly after missing their destination, [[Cairo, Illinois]] (in a free state to which Jim has planned to escape), Huck and Jim's raft is swamped by a passing steamship, separating the two. Huck is given shelter by the Grangerfords, a prosperous local family. He becomes friends with Buck Grangerford, a boy about his age, and learns that the Grangerfords are engaged in a 30-year blood feud against another family, the Shepherdsons. |
|||
The vendetta comes to a head when Buck's sister, Sophia Grangerford, elopes with Harney Shepherdson. In the resulting conflict, all of the remaining Grangerford males are shot and killed, and upon seeing Buck's corpse, Huck is too devastated to write about everything that happened. However, Huck does describe how he narrowly avoids his own death in the gunfight, later reuniting with Jim and the raft and together fleeing farther south on the Mississippi River. |
|||
===The Duke and the King=== |
|||
Further down the river, Jim and Huck rescue two cunning [[Confidence trick|grifters]], who join Huck and Jim on the raft. The younger of the two swindlers, a man of about thirty, introduces himself as a son of an English [[duke]] and his father's rightful successor. The older one, about seventy, then trumps the duke's claim by alleging that he is actually the [[Louis XVII of France#"Lost Dauphin" claimants|"Lost Dauphin"]], the son of [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]] and rightful King of France. The "Duke" and the "King" then force Jim and Huck to allow them to travel on the raft, committing a series of [[Confidence trick|confidence]] schemes on the way south. |
|||
As these schemes unfold, Huck sees the attempted [[lynching]] of a southern gentleman, Colonel Sherburn, after Sherburn kills a harmless town drunk. Sherburn faces down the lynch mob with a loaded rifle and forces them to back down after an extended speech regarding what he believes to be the essential cowardice of "Southern justice," the lynch mob. (This [[vignette]], which stands out as disconnected from the remaining plot, is thought to represent Twain's own contradictory and [[misanthropic]] impulses — Huck, the outcast, essentially flees from Southern society, while Sherburn, the gentleman, confronts it, albeit in a brutal, destructive fashion.<ref name=CambridgeSherburn>{{cite book | last = Jehlen | first = Myra | editor = Forrest G. Robinson (ed.) | title = The Cambridge Companion to Mark Twain | date= 1995-05-26 | publisher = Cambridge University Press | id = ISBN 0-521-44593-0 | pages = 107–109 | chapter = Banned in Concord: ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' and Classic American Literature}}</ref>) |
|||
The Duke and the King's schemes reach their peak when the two grifters impersonate the brothers of Peter Wilks, a recently deceased man of property. Using an absurd English accent, the King manages to convince most of the townspeople that he and the Duke are Wilks's brothers recently arrived from England, and proceeds to liquidate Wilks's estate. Huck is upset at the men's plan to steal the inheritance from Wilks's daughters and actual brothers, as well as their actions in selling Wilks's slaves and separating their families. To thwart their plans, Huck steals the money the two have acquired and hides it in Wilks's coffin. Shortly thereafter, the two con men are exposed when two other men claiming to be the Wilks's true brothers arrive. However, when the money is found in Wilks's coffin, the Duke and the King are able to escape in the confusion, rejoining Huck and Jim on the raft. |
|||
===Jim's escape=== |
|||
After the four fugitives flee farther south on their raft, the King "captures" Jim and sells his interest in any reward while Huck is away in a nearby town. Outraged by this betrayal, Huck rejects the advice of his "conscience," which continues to tell him that in helping Jim escape to freedom, he is stealing Miss Watson's property. Telling himself "All right, then, I'll go to hell!", Huck resolves to free Jim. |
|||
Huck discovers, upon arriving at the house in which Jim is being held, that the King has sold him in a bar for forty dollars. In a parallel to the con men's earlier scheme with the Wilks family, Huck is mistaken by Tom Sawyer's Arkansas aunt, Sally Phelps, for Tom himself, and plays along, hoping to find a way to free Jim. Shortly after, Tom himself arrives, and pretending to be his own half-brother Sid, agrees to join Huck's scheme. |
|||
Jim reveals the secret of the Royal Nonesuch before the two rogues are able to set their confidence game into motion. That night the Duke and King are captured by the townspeople, and are [[Tarring and feathering|tarred and feathered]] and [[Riding the rail|ridden out of town on a rail]]. |
|||
Rather than simply sneaking Jim out of the shed where he is being held, Tom develops an elaborate plan to free him, involving secret messages, hidden tunnels, a rope ladder sent in Jim's food, and other elements from popular novels,<ref name="Doyno">{{cite book ||title=Writing Huck Finn: Mark Twain's creative process |author=Victor A. Doyno |date=1991 |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |id=ISBN tk |pages=191}} [http://books.google.ca/books?id=b-DTQwA4lDEC&pg=PA190&lpg=PA190&dq=benvenuto+chelleeny&source=web&ots=_gofpI_335&sig=bXuZjSvs1Ejq3HR7SzC0m4n9ZPE&hl=en] </ref> including a note to the Phelps warning them of an Indian tribe stealing their runaway slave. During the resulting pursuit, Tom is shot in the leg, and rather than complete his escape, Jim attends to him and insists that Huck find a doctor in town to treat the injury. This is the first time that Jim demands something from a white person; Huck explains this by saying "I knowed he was white on the inside...so it was all right now." Jim and Tom are then captured and brought back by the doctor. |
|||
===Conclusion=== |
|||
After Jim's recapture, events quickly resolve themselves. Tom's Aunt Polly arrives and reveals Huck's and Tom's true identities. Tom announces that Jim has been free for months: Miss Watson died two months earlier and freed Jim in her will, but Tom chose not to reveal Jim's freedom so he could come up with an elaborate plan to rescue Jim. Jim tells Huck that Huck's father has been dead for some time and that Huck may return safely to St. Petersburg. (Jim discovered this when he and Huck were on Jackson Island and came upon part of a house drifting down stream. The dead body in the house, the face of which Jim did not let Huck see, was Huck's father.) In the final narrative, Huck declares that he is quite glad to be done writing his story, and despite Tom's family's plans to adopt and "sivilize" him, Huck intends to flee west to [[Indian Territory]]. |

==Major themes== |
|||
Twain wrote a novel that embodies the search for freedom. He wrote during the post-[[American Civil War|Civil War]] period when there was an intense [[white people|white]] reaction against [[African American|blacks]]. Twain took aim squarely against [[Discrimination|racial prejudice]], increasing [[Racial segregation|segregation]], [[lynching]]s, and the generally accepted belief that blacks were [[sub-human]]. He "made it clear that Jim was good, deeply loving, human, and anxious for freedom."<ref>{{cite book | last = Leonard | first = James S. | authorlink = | coauthors = Thomas A. Tenney and Thadious M.

|||
Throughout the story, Huck is in moral conflict with the received values of the society in which he lives, and while he is unable to consciously refute those values even in his thoughts, he makes a moral choice based on his own valuation of Jim's friendship and human worth, a decision in direct opposition to the things he has been taught. Mark Twain in his lecture notes proposes that "a sound heart is a surer guide than an ill-trained conscience," and goes on to describe the novel as "...a book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat."<ref>''Mark Twain: Critical Assessments'', Stuart Hutchinson, Ed, Routledge 1993, p. 193</ref> |
|||
==Reception== |
|||
The publication of ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' resulted in generally friendly reviews, but the novel was controversial from the outset.<ref name="nytimes-mailer">{{cite news | last = Mailer | first = Norman | author-link = Norman Mailer | coauthors = | title = Huckleberry Finn, Alive at 100 | work = | pages = | language = | publisher = [[The New York Times]] | date = [[1984-12-09]] | url = http://www.nytimes.com/1984/12/09/books/mailer-huck.html | accessdate = 2008-02-10}}</ref> Upon issue of the American edition in 1885 a number of libraries banned it from their stacks.<ref name="leonard-concord">{{cite book | last = Leonard | first = James S. | authorlink = | coauthors = Thomas A.

One noted incident was recounted in the newspaper, the ''Boston Transcript'': |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
The Concord (Mass.) Public Library committee has decided to exclude Mark Twain's latest book from the library. One member of the committee says that, while he does not wish to call it immoral, he thinks it contains but little humor, and that of a very coarse type. He regards it as the veriest trash. The library and the other members of the committee entertain similar views. characterizing it as rough, coarse, and inelegant, dealing with a series of experiences not elevating, the whole book being more suited to the slums than to intelligent, respectable people.<ref name="leonard-concord" /> |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
Twain later remarked to his editor, "Apparently, the Concord library has condemned Huck as 'trash and only suitable for the slums.' This will sell us another five thousand copies for sure!" |
|||
[[Image:Jim and ghost huck finn.jpg|thumb|The portrayal of Jim can be problematic for some modern readers. In this scene illustrated by [[E. W. Kemble]], Jim thinks Huck is a ghost.]] |
|||
Many subsequent critics, [[Ernest Hemingway]] among them, have deprecated the final chapters, claiming the book "devolves into little more than minstrel-show satire and broad comedy" after Jim loses his freedom.<ref>{{cite news | last = Nick | first = Gillespie | coauthors = | title = Mark Twain vs. Tom Sawyer: The bold deconstruction of a national icon | work = | pages = | language = | publisher = | month = February | year = 2006 | url = http://www.reason.com/news/show/36203.html | accessdate = 2008-02-07}}</ref> Hemingway declared, "All modern American literature comes from" ''Huck Finn'', and hailed it as "the best book we've had." He cautioned, however, "If you must read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end."<ref>{{cite book | last = Hemingway | first = Ernest | authorlink = Ernest Hemingway | coauthors = | title = Green Hills of Africa | publisher = [[Scribners]] | year = 1935 | location = New York | pages = 22 | id = }}</ref> (The term "Nigger Jim" never appears in the novel but after appearing in Alfred Bigelow Payne's 1912 Clemens biography, continued to be used by Twentieth Century critics including Leslie Fiedler, Norman Mailer, and Russell Baker.) [[Pulitzer Prize]] winner [[Ron Powers]] states in his Twain biography (''Mark Twain: A Life'') that "Huckleberry Finn endures as a consensus masterpiece despite these final chapters," in which Tom Sawyer leads Huck through elaborate machinations to rescue Jim.<ref>{{cite book | last = Powers | first = Ron | authorlink = Ron Powers | coauthors = | title = Mark Twain: A Life | publisher = [[Free Press (publisher)|Free Press]] | date = [[2005-09-13]] | location = | pages = 476-7 | id = }}</ref> |
|||
Much modern scholarship of ''Huckleberry Finn'' has focused on its treatment of race. Many Twain scholars have argued that the book, by humanizing Jim and exposing the fallacies of the racist assumptions of slavery, is an attack on racism.<ref>For example, Shelley Fisher Fishin, ''Lighting out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1997).</ref> Others have argued that the book falls short on this score, especially in its depiction of Jim.<ref name="leonard-concord" /> According to Professor Stephen Railton of the [[University of Virginia]], Twain was unable to fully rise above the stereotypes of black people that white readers of his era expected and enjoyed, and therefore resorted to [[minstrel show]]-style comedy to provide humor at Jim's expense, and ended up confirming rather than challenging late-19th century racist stereotypes.<ref>Stephen Railton, "Jim and Mark Twain: What Do Dey Stan' For?" ''Virginia Quarterly Review'' 63 (1987).</ref> |
|||
Because of this controversy over whether ''Huckleberry Finn'' is racist or anti-racist, and because the word "[[nigger]]" is frequently used in the novel, many have questioned the appropriateness of teaching the book in the U.S. public school system. According to the [[American Library Association]], ''Huckleberry Finn'' was the fifth most frequently [[Challenge (literature)|challenged]] book in the United States during the 1990s.<ref>[http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbwlinks/100mostfrequently.cfm ALA | 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
