Note:There exists a longstanding appropriation of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as an icon of popular culture. It has had from the beginning, and continues to have, sufficient vitality to withstand public disapproval and critical controversy, censorship and bowdlerization, mishap and malice. The image of Huck has served as a means to debunk everything from political self-righteousness to the pollution of the Mississippi River.
