Editorial Reviews
"All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. It's the best book we've had." -Ernest Hemingway
- From the Publisher
"This welcome new edition brings beautifully to life Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as Mark Twain conceived it. Along with the excellent critical introduction and notes, the abundant contextual materials offer a superb recreation of the historical and cultural context in which the novel was written and read.
- Eric J. Sundquist Johns Hopkins University
"Broadview's new Adventures of Huckleberry Finn answers the need for an edition of America's most popular canonical novel that provides readers-and most especially student readers at all levels-with the critical tools essential to serious inquiry. The text is reliable and beautifully produced; Stephen Railton's introduction is copious, well informed, and critically suggestive; and the several appendices, featuring a wide selection of contextual materials, nicely anticipate readers' needs.
