The Compassionate Morality of a Perfect Sap-head

First published in 1884, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was seen as a wildly adventurous novel for children until the pioneering critical work of the American scholar, Lionel Trilling, who saw it for what it is: a bildungsroman that charted the moral and emotional growth to maturity of a young boy exposed to an evil and corrupt society. Throughout the novel Huck’s innocence and especially his naïve, innocent voice constantly subvert the values he observes in the society he comes into contact with on his and Jim’s epic voyage down the Mississippi. The novel’s use of offensive racist ...

Marriage in the Renaissance

Marriage in the Renaissance was not what marriage is today; generally, it was not based on romantic love but on social status and political strategy.

When parents promised their children in marriage, most thought only of money and short term strategic gain (James, 2008). Marriages arranged for social, economic ...
