Creation background

From 65438 to the 1970s, American capitalism entered a period of monopoly. The appearance of huge, machine-roaring factories, collectivized large-scale production combination and bold enterprising spirit have promoted the rapid development of American industry, and gradually lost the protection of polite behavior and moral self-discipline rules that prevailed in quiet and less competitive times.

Therefore, it is inevitable to abandon the gentle Victorian era. Especially, the Civil War, like a catalyst, not only destroyed slavery, but also accelerated the collapse of Victorian social structure, pushed young people to the trend of declaring war on tradition, and let their long-suppressed violence erupt for a long time, destroying the anachronistic society of19th century.

It is in this great historical background that Mark Twain created The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which has far-reaching historical significance. He condensed his childhood experience into this novel, and at the same time injected his own thoughts and the epitome of the times, which made it break away from the general vulgar style of children's memory and filled with the vitality of the times.
