Lighting Out for the Territory
http://www1.pbs.org/newshour/gergen/april97/fishkin_4-1.html
The transcript of an April 1, 1997, NewsHour dialogue between
David Gergen and Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Forum member and author of
_Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and
American Culture_, about why _Huckleberry Finn_ is virtually ignored
in Hannibal. Gergen does his best to come up with an explanation
that doesn't involve racism.
Great Books: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
http://school.discovery.com/spring97/programs/greatbooks-huckfinn/
Teaching materials for use with the Discovery Channel's documentary
on the novel include vocabulary, discussion questions, activities,
and a list of Internet resources.
Has anyone seen this documentary yet? Is it any good?
