"Contexts" includes essays on the composition of the novel, the people and history of the Upper Mississippi Valley, slavery, and the critical reception of the novel upon its publication. "Readings" includes Henry Nash Smith's introduction to the 1958 Riverside Edition of the novel, as well as critical essays.

River Adventure

I enjoyed this one less.

Huck escaping the intolerable civility of Widow Douglas meets Jim - they aim for freedom down the Mississippi.

Cons, violence, slavery. It's a powerful story of friendship that is often very difficult to read.
