Dumas Fils de romanın yanı sıra en çok hayat kadınlarını konu alan dramlarıyla tanınır. Çocukluk ve gençlik yıllarında melez olmanın baskısını sürekli hissetmiş olan Dumaslar kendi dönemlerinde sadece klasikler arasına giren romanlarıyla değil aynı zamanda sıradışı hayatlarıyla da kendilerinden bahsettirmişlerdir. Özellikle romanlarıyla Türk edebiyatını da etkileyen Dumaslar Tanzimat döneminde Türk romanının gelişmesine büyük katkı sağlamışlardır. Fransa'da özellikle Dumas Père'in eserlerine uygulanan gizemli sansür onun melez bir aileden gelmesinden dolayıdır. Fransız hükümeti bu özrünü 2002 de Dumas Père'in mezarını ünlü şahsiyetlerin defnedildiği Panthéon'a taşıyarak telafi etmeye çalışmıştır. Üç Silahşörler, Monte Cristo Kontu ve Kamelyalı Kadın günümüzde halen zevkle okunan romanlar arasındadır
