Because the sciences have dominated American universities since the 1960s, Anglo-American readers were moved to appreciate Frankenstein in new and important ways. More dramatically, the integration of American public and higher education has sparked dramatic reevaluations of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Since American public and higher education was integrated in the 1960s and 1970s, this well-established classic, which is taught in more schools than any other literary work except Shakespeare's plays (Arac 7), provoked new controversies in academic circles as well as in public schools.
