520 The Twain Legacy offers students and teachers an insight
into the life and writings of Mark Twain, a significant
19th century American literary icon. 'The Twain Legacy' is
divided into five chapters intended for class and
individual learning and discussion. Knowledgeable scholars
explore themes, ideas and narrative style in The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. By examining and exploring
why his historical and moral concerns were important, the
presenters weave Twain's themes of slavery, prejudice and
class into a coherent awareness. Chapter 1- Twain Overview
: Mark Twain is the pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemons,
born in Hannibal, Missouri in 1835 and died in 1910 in
Reddington, Connecticut. Twain experienced a mixture of
careers including journalism, riverboat piloting, essayist,
short story writer and novelist, especially in 1885, with
the publication of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Ironically, his pen name, Mark Twain, means smooth sailing,
which is in contrast to the stormy subjects explored in
his stories. Chapter 2 - Twain's Hannibal, Missouri:
Twain's personal and professional experiences from
childhood and adult recollections are all intertwined in
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His narrative offers
an abundance of serious and humorous incidences that
reveal life experiences on the American frontier. Twain's
upbringing in Hannibal, Missouri, where slavery was still
a fact of life, had a great influence on his fictional
character developments as well as illuminating accounts of
racial relations in America. Chapter 3 - Twains' Use of
Dialect: Twain listened and wrote with great respect for
all Americans, especially African-American speakers. From
early childhood and into adulthood, Twain heard their
dialogue and wrote with accuracy and empathy. Well known
writers, Shelly Fisher Fishkin, Justin Kaplan and David
Lionel Smith shed new light on Jim and Huck's dialect and
its importance in 19th century American literature. Though
many critics penned acerbic comments about Jim's dialect,
few could criticize Twain's attempts to bring this correct
voice for African Americans and Midwestern Americans into
fiction. Chapter 4 - Twain's Awareness of Slavery: In the
1870s slavery and Reconstruction were controversial in
America. Mark Twain weaves the themes of slavery,
prejudice and class effectively and controversially in The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. With numerous suggestions
about the challenges in protecting Jim as a slave, various
events reveal prejudice and class distinctions among the
wealthy and corrupt to imposters and charlatans. Chapter 5
- Twain's Use of Irony: As a literary stratagem, irony,
can be so subtle that readers might misunderstand the
author's real intention for its use. Twain's irony
stimulates discussion in The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn about Jim and Huck escaping oppression: Jim to
freedom and Huck to the west. In it first publication
Twain's use of irony proved baffling to many critics and
readers. This chapter advances discussion regarding
Twain's genius in writing a book that still resonates with
vibrancy, controversy and authority.
