About This Book
"Refiguring "Huckleberry Finn" looks at ways contemporary American culture and history influenced the formation of Mark Twain's masterwork. It also shows how the novel reflects Twain's deep investment in what Carl F. Wieck calls "an open-minded, unbiased perception of the wellsprings of the American spirit."".
"In addition, in discussions that range from number play in the novel to the symbolic potential of the Mississippi's awesome, one-way flow, Wieck looks closely at Twain's storytelling craft. Filled with new and challenging insights, Refiguring "Huckleberry Finn" reintroduces us to one of our greatest novels and one of our finest novelists."--BOOK JACKET.
