A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages xxii-xxiii).

What begins as a literary burlesque of British chivalry and culture grows into a disturbing satire of late 19th century technology and social thought. The story of Hank Morgan, a nineteenth-century American who is accidentally returned to sixth-century England, is a powerful analysis of such issues as monarchy versus democracy and free will versus determinism, but it is also one of Twain's finest comic novels.
