Sobre este item
New York. 1993. Oxford University Press. 2nd Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0195082141. 270 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by David Tran. keywords: Literary Criticism America Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Shelley Fisher Fishkin suggests that in Huckleberry Finn, more than in any other work, Mark Twain let African-American voices, language, and rhetorical traditions play a major role in the creation of his art. In WAS HUCK BLACK?, Fishkin combines close readings of published and unpublished writing by Twain with intensive biographical and historical research and insights gleaned from linguistics, literary theory, and folklore to shed new light on the role African-American voices played in the genesis of HUCKLEBERRY FINN. Given that book's importance in American culture, her analysis illuminates, as well, how African-American voices have shaped our sense of what is distinctively American' about American literature. Fishkin shows that Mark Twain was surrounded, throughout his life, by richly talented African-American speakers whose rhetorical gifts Twain admired candidly and profusely. A black child named Jimmy whom Twain called the most artless, sociable, and exhaustless talker I ever came across' helped Twain understand the potential of a vernacular narrator in the years before he began writing Huckleberry Finn, and served as a model for the voice with which Twain would transform American literature. A slave named Jerry whom Twain referred to as an impudent and satirical and delightful young black man' taught Twain about signifying' - satire in an African-American vein - when Twain was a teenager (later Twain would recall that he thought him the greatest man in the United States' at the time). Other African-American voices left their mark on Twain's imagination as well - but their role in the creation of his art has never been recognized. WAS HUCK BLACK? adds a new dimension to current debates over multiculturalism and the canon. inventory #21208 ISBN: 0195082141.
