Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" (1876) is widely recognized as the first novel submitted to a publisher in typewritten form. Twain was an early adopter of the typewriter, and this novel demonstrated how the new technology could streamline the writing and publishing process. "Das Kapital" is an economic treatise, not a novel, and "Macbeth" predates typewriters by centuries.
