Lovely article, worth the read~30mins read. I’ve read the usual suspects from Twain’s body of work, but somehow I never remember any particular attention being paid to Huck’s moment of decision to go to hell trying to help Jim - I wouldn’t have thought to tie it to the classical ‘journey to hell’ katabasis trope at the time, but now - maybe it’s time for a re-read.
