	Mark Twain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twain was a master at rendering colloquial speech, and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language.
		Although Twain was against racism and imperialism far ahead of the public sentiment of his time, those who have only superficial familiarity with his work have sometimes condemned it as racist because it accurately depicts language in common use in the 19th-century United States.
		Twain himself would probably be amused by these attempts; in 1885, when a library in Massachusetts banned the book, he wrote to his publisher, "They have expelled Huck from their library as 'trash suitable only for the slums', that will sell 25,000 copies for us for sure."
