A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Mark Twain

In CliffsNotes on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Hank Morgan ("The Boss") is transported back in time from the 19th century to the 6th century. He believes that because he is technologically more advanced than others, he is superior as a human being; this leads Hank to attempt to change, improve, and "civilize" Camelot, but in the process, he destroys it. Mark Twain takes a cynical and satiric look at social injustice, modern technology, and the Catholic Church.
