Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

Question

What genre would this novel be considered?

Answer 1

Well, in common terms, of course, it's a boy's adventure story. I suspect Sam Clemens would be happier with that terminology. That's the way I read it when I was ten or eleven years old, and several times after that. Then I discovered that Mark Twain was being more serious than he let on, and that the climax, when Huck vows, "All right, I'll go to hell," is a high point in American literature.

For in terms of recognized literary genres, HF is a combination of two types: (1) the bildungsroman, which deals with the development of a main character who is young, developing his own values, a "coming-of-age" novel; and (2) the picaresque, the adventures of a low-class hero, or picaro, learning how to live by his wits in a corrupt or hypocritical society, usually humorous, usually involving travel from place to place.

Of course, Mark Twain really re-invented both genres and has been imitated ever since. For example,both J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Saul Bellow's Adventures of Augie March are conscious take-offs from HF.
