    Teaching Advantages of Mark Twain: The NewSouth Edition

    Teaching Advantages of Mark Twain: The NewSouth Edition
    Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn: The NewSouth Edition offers teachers numerous advantages, including the ability to delve deeper in to the novels without the difficulties often encountered in classrooms by the use of the racial epithets. Volume editor Dr. Alan Gribben explains. For more information, visit http://www.newsouthbooks.com/twain.

    Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn as Companion Works

    Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn as Companion Works

His newly released NewSouth Edition combines the two works into one volume for easy classroom use. For more information, visit http://www.newsouthbooks.com/twain.

    How the "N-Word" Affects Readership of Modern Audiences

    How the "N-Word" Affects Readership of Modern Audiences
    Dr. Alan Gribben considers Mark Twain's use of the "n-word" in Huckleberry Finn versus Twain's lack of the same words in his own speech, and how that informed Gribben's new volume Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn: The NewSouth Edition.

    How "Slave" Maintains Twain's Message

    How "Slave" Maintains Twain's Message
    Dr. Alan Gribben discusses why replacing the "n-word" with the word "slave" in Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn: The NewSouth Edition preserves Twain's lessons about racism and slavery while widening the book's classroom audience. For more information, visit http://www.newsouthbooks.com/twain.

    What Huck Finn Offers Beyond the N-Word

    What Huck Finn Offers Beyond the N-Word
    If schools continue to ban the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn due to modern-day reactions to the characters' use of racial epithets, valuable lessons will be lost. Dr. Alan Gribben expands on this point in relation to his new volume of Twain's classics. For more information, visit http://www.newsouthbooks.com/twain.

    Why Huck Finn is Banned From Schools

    Why Huck Finn is Banned From Schools
    Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are often banned from school reading lists due to the racial epithets that the characters employ. Dr. Alan Gribben discusses his new edition of the works, which substitutes those epithets with other phrases. For more information, visit http://www.newsouthbooks.com/twain.
