Stratford: Book Club: “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain

Please join us in discussing “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain for our August book club gathering.

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, Mark Twain’s sequel to “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, became an instant success in the year of its publication, 1884, but was seen by some as unfit for children to read because of its language, grammar, and “uncivilized hero.” The book has sparked controversy ever since, but most scholars continue to praise it as a modern masterpiece, an essential read, and one of the greatest novels in all of American literature. Twain’s satiric treatment of racism, religious excess, and rural simplicity and his accuracy in presenting dialects mark this as a classic.
