Mark Twain
Realism/Regionalism
Mark Twain was a brilliant and successful realist for his time period. But, Twain went beyond being just a realist, he was also a regional writer, or also known as a regionalist. Twain’s style in all of his writings was humorous and descriptive, and captured the voice of American speech and its slang.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn emphasized both the negative and positive aspects of America, which was a perfect example of regionalism. Twain focused on certain words or accents to emphasize certain situations. For example, he used the “N” word to show people how blacks were treated back then.
