"A Connecticut Yankee" is Mark Twain's most ambitious work, a tour
de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a
Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as
social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as
"one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of
our poor human race". The Yankee, suddenly transported from his
native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century
Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to "boss
the whole country inside of three weeks". And so he does. Emerging
as "The Boss", he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot
- with unexpected results.
