The relative neglect of the raftsmen’s passage in Huckleberry Finn commentary is surprising when we consider the traumatic heart of the episode. In many ways, the raftsmen’s passage is a bit like Huck Finn himself, a kind of outcast child of the parental body of the book. Twain scholarship has reached no consensus on how the passage should be handled editorially, much less on the meaning of the passage for the novel as a whole.
