A TV bio on Charles Dickens reminded me of an abandoned thesis topic on his
social influence.  That led me to thinking about the influence of Twain on
our society.  He certainly identified some wrongs.  How would you  begin to
assess his  influence not merely on other writers, but on the
social-political
environment of his time and subsequently?
