Westsiders

From Death to Rebirth
"In this fascinating study of antiquity, Thomas Finn explores the role of ritual and conversion in Judaism, Christianity, Greco-Roman Paganism, and the philosophical schools. Finn makes history come alive both by carefully delineating the historical, cultural, and social factors at work in conversion and by drawing on the stories and firsthand accounts of conversion in ancient times."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Huck Finn Among the Critics
This anthology is intended as a tribute to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on the occasion of its centenial. It contains criticism covering the entire span of its lively existence, from early impressionistic reviews and commentary through the great debate of the mid-20th century, down to the present decade. Also included are background essays on Mark Twain as a representative American figure, and the composition of the novel. Discussions of the illustrations for the first edition and the various film adaptations are covered in an appendix. An annotated checklist of criticism concludes the volume.
