A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Bantam Classics)

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Bantam Classics)

This novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, the quintessential self-reliant New Englander who brings to King Arthurâ‚¬s Age of Chivalry the â‚¬Å“great and beneficentâ‚¬Â miracles of nineteenth-century engineering and American ingenuity. Through the collision of past and present, Twain exposes the insubstantiality of both utopias, destroying the myth of the romantic ideal as well as his own eraâ‚¬s faith in scientific and social progress.

A central document in American intellectual history, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurâ‚¬s Court is at once a hilarious comedy of anachronisms and incongruities, a romantic fantasy, a utopian vision, and a savage, anarchic social satire that only one of Americaâ‚¬s greatest writers could pen.
