About This Item
Madison, WI, U.S.A: University of Wisconsin Press, 1997. Trade Paperback. Very Good. In this book, the author re-examines the critical reception of Huckleberry Finn and explores how the book came to be canonized as the quintessential American novel and an attack on racism; he reviews the era of the novel's setting in the 1840s, the period when the book was written and published in the 1880s, and the post-World War II era when the book was canonized by Lionel Trilling and other literary critics in order to refute many entrenched assumptions about the novel and its place in cultural history (cover has slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
