We invite you to join us tomorrow for a discussion of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and on Friday for a webinar on William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying.

More on our upcoming webinars:

Join NAS tomorrow, August 2, at 2 pm ET, for a discussion of Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

“Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better.”

What makes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a great American novel? When published, it was widely criticized for its "coarse language," a charge that continues to this day. Does the book's language undercut its attempts to challenge the entrenched attitudes of its day?

This webinar will feature Alan Gribben, Emeritus Professor of English at Auburn University; Caroline Breashears, Professor of English at St. Lawrence University; and Robert Lamb, Professor of English in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University.

The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.
