Mark Twain
Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was born in Florida in 1835. When he was four, he moved to a town on the banks of the Mississippi. Many of his books, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, are set near the Mississippi and are based on real events. Slavery still existed in the USA until the 1860s, and many of Twain’s books were a social commentary on slavery and the American laws of the time. Other writers often call him the ‘father of American literature’.
Charles Dickens
Charles John Huffam Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812. He was the most popular novelist of the Victorian era. His novels were a social commentary on the poverty and crime of the period.
He wrote 14 novels and many other short stories, and his second novel, Oliver Twist, shocked his readers because of its realism. Leo Tolstoy regarded Dickens as the best of all English novelists and considered one of Dickens’ novels, David Copperfield, to be his finest work.
