One of 51 titles in the Major Literary Characters series which collate criticism from various sources, and which seek to place the analysis of characters back at the centre of literary study. This title in the 18th and 19th century section focuses on Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.
Huck Finn, one of Twain's most memorable characters, can be described as both plucky and adventurous. His free-spirited nature is a part of the American psyche and the story of his travels down the Mississippi River with the runaway slave Jim remains among the great American narratives.
