Tom Sawyer's Capitalisms and the Destructuring of Huck Finn
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2009
Extract
Many have long inquired into the relationship between 19th-century U.S. literature and capitalism, and, recently, within the critical framework of “new historicism,” a complex debate has taken place as to whether it is possible to imagine any works of late-19th-century literature as anticapitalist. More particularly, the debate involves whether any of the characters who inhabit such works can be construed as resisting the particular formations of selfhood that exist in a capitalist society.
