Mark Twain was the pseudonym for Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), an American writer and humorist whose best work is characterized by broad, often irreverent humor or biting social satire. Twain's writing is also known for realism of place and language, memorable characters, and condemnation of hypocrisy and oppression.
