Mark Twain changed the way Americans speak and write their language; he wrote extensively in dialect, and his characters therefore spoke in voices that seemed familiar to the average person.

Twain was one of the first travel writers; his work "A Tramp Abroad" recounted his European journeys.

As a humorist, Twain showed how levity exists alongside the more serious issues in life.
