	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Full Summary and Analysis
		Ever the Yankee, Hank is extremely uncomfortable about the idea about going into the woods with an unknown woman (he tells Clarence that he was practically engaged to Puss Flanagan before his accident) but knows he has to go.
		The Yankee's love for technology, progress and hard reason will emerge as a key theme and force later in the novel as he comes in conflict with the inefficiencies and "irrationality" he finds in King Arthur's court.
		Also the Yankee describes the court as a "childlike and innocent" lot, credulous beyond anything he has ever seen, believing every tall tale that comes before them, even though it is a known fact that all of the knights exaggerate and lie to aggrandize their exploits.

		A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889) is a work of humorous invention set in motion by G. Cable, who first brought Malory’s Morte d’Arthur to Mark Twain’s attention.
		The hero is, despite the title, no mere Yankee but Mark Twain’s “personal representative”—acquainted with the machine shops of New Haven but acquainted also with navigation on the Mississippi and with Western journalism and with the use of the lariat.
		A Connecticut Yankee is his Don Quixote, a sincere book, full of lifelong convictions earnestly held, a book charged with a rude iconoclastic humour, intended like the work of Cervantes to hasten the end of an obsolescent civilization.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
		A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was the last of Twain's novels written during the apex of his career.
		Of the protagonist, Hank the Yankee, Twain writes that he is modern, knowledgeable but is nonetheless "an ignoramus." His voice is not necessarily Twain's, and Twain uses his self-assured, strong willed American to criticize modern society's penchant for destructive progress.
		As the Yankee grows in power and conviction that his way is the best way, he becomes more totalitarian, more violent and less in control of his circumstances until the only way out is a war of mass destruction.

		A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court What made one chapter interesting, and another dull.
		A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, written by Mark Twain in the late 19th century, tells the story of a man from Connecticut, Hank Morgan, who was hit with a crowbar, and awoke to find himself in 6th century England.
		While Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court seems to be unbalanced in that all of the chapters are different, both in how interesting they are and how serious they are, the varying levels of seriousness also help to make the book more varied and interesting, since the reader does not know what to expect next.

	"A Connecticut Yankee in Court" (City Journal, Autumn 1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Just as the disputed borderland of Alsace-Lorraine abounds with flag-waving Gallic patriots, so we in Connecticut tend to insist, a bit too loudly, that we, too, are New Englanders.
		Sure, we're only an hour or two from Times Square, but we can find brown eggs and Yankee at the Stop and Shop, and Essex might just as well be on Cape Cod.
		This vagueness also reflected a deliberate strategy of the plaintiffs: during seven years in court, as the Hartford Courant reported, they had "never suggested any specific ways to correct the imbalance." Better to get into the driver's seat first and then decide in later rounds of litigation where they want to go.
