Berkley Prime Crime, The Adventures of Samuel L. During the s, educator John H. Another scholar, Jonathan Arac, has urged that students be prompted to read other, more unequivocally abolitionist works rather than this one novel that has been consecrated as the mandatory literary statement about American slavery. My personal turning point on the journey toward this present NewSouth Edition was a lecture tour I undertook in Alabama in I had written the introduction for an edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer designed to interest younger readers in older American literature.

Here was further proof that this single debasing label is overwhelming every other consideration about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn , whereas what these novels have to offer readers hardly depends upon that one indefensible slur. My understanding about this situation crystallized into a definite resolve. Unquestionably both novels can be enjoyed just as deeply and authentically if readers are not obliged to confront the n-word on so many pages.

Although the text loses some of the caustic sting that the n-word carries, that price seems small compared to the revolting effect that the more offensive word has on contemporary readers. Moreover, slavery is recognized globally as an affront to humanity. Despite occasional efforts of rap and hip hop musicians to appropriate the term, and well-meaning but usually futile from my own experience endeavors by classroom teachers to inoculate their students against it by using Huckleberry Finn as a springboard to discuss its etymology and cultural history, the n-word remains inarguably the most inflammatory word in the English language.

In the contiguous state of Arkansas where the latter part of Huckleberry Finn is set the percentage was twenty-six, and that percentage rose drastically in the Deep South, with fifty-five percent of the residents of Mississippi consisting of slaves. By , four million of the twelve million people living in the Southern states were slaves who controlled neither their bodies nor their labor. The racially derogatory nickname for the murderer in Tom Sawyer is more problematic.

Petersburg townspeople, and why this marginalized figure might be tempted to strike out at one or more of the villagers who look down on him. A total of seventeen miscellaneous usages of the I-word have similarly been altered in both novels. One other editorial choice had to be determined. Scholars have vigorously debated whether a lengthy passage in the manuscript of Huckleberry Finn that Twain first published in Chapter 3 of Life on the Mississippi to illustrate the rawness of early river days should be reinserted into the novel from which it was extracted.

The NewSouth Edition incorporates the raftsmen passage into Chapter 16 as Twain originally wrote it in his original manuscript of Huckleberry Finn and as published in the American edition of Life on the Mississippi. With the exception of the changes in racial denotations and in two archaic references to skin color and the insertion of the raftsmen passage, the texts of both novels otherwise follow the wording of the first American edition.

The editor has silently modernized certain eccentricities of nineteenth-century punctuation and spelling, and has given American spellings preference over British spellings. Obvious typographical errors introduced by the printers and inconsistent spellings have been corrected. Those standard editions will always exist.
