Dear Twain-L members, I am interested in discussing the importance of dialect in Huckleberry Finn. Especially, discussing the connection between issue of morality and Huck's dialect. One of the discussion topics put to us at Uni recently was: Is Huck's dialect rich enough to occupy so central a position in the narrative? It was suggested that it is not a dialect that allows him to address moral issues. But what has moral issues got to do with Huck's dialect, or any dialect? Can anyone explain this to me? Cheers, Linda Serck
