  Athenaeum Reviews Yankee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Chatto & Windus, is a rather laborious piece of fun with a sort of purpose in it.
One of the illustrations, early in the volume, represents a Yankee tickling with a straw the nose of a gigantic statue of a lion, and indicates the general nature of the serious purport of the 525 pages of that very American kind of American humour of which "Mark Twain" is the chief master.
Laughing at British institutions, and showing that the good old times were uncommonly bad times for the people, and that not a few of the historical privileges which still exist do not suit the ideas of the great republic of the West, afford a good deal of harmless amusement and opportunities for very trite comment.

 My Thesis
This clearly implies that Arthur died in the Battle of Mount Badon, which of course is not the case, or rather is never implied in any of the works studied for the thesis.
King Arthur saw these two blows and was quite aware that it was the emperor; so he spurred on his horse towards him and with his bright and keenly sharp sword he struck the emperor on his helmet with all his strength.
Arthur, though dead and buried, is expected to return miraculously at a later date, effecting a human resurrection in line with the Second Coming.

 Library of America: Mark Twain: Historical Romances
In both cases Mark Twain's complete holograph manuscript is extant: the manuscript of The Prince and the Pauper is in the Henry E. Huntington Library, San Marino, California, and the manuscript of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is in the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of The New York Public Library.
In both cases, the English editions, published by Chatto & Windus slightly before or simultaneously with the American editions, were set from the American proof sheets in varying stages of revision.
Because of difficulties with the intricate illustrations and the urgency of getting proofs to England in time for Chatto & Windus to obtain copyright, Hall devised a complicated production process in which illustration, typesetting, plating, and printing were begun before the final book was proofread, and Twain was unable to read revised page proofs.
