A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court: An Authoritative Text, Backgrounds and Sources, Composition and Publication, Criticism (A Norton)

Description

Step into one of the greatest comedic minds in literary history with Mark Twain's masterpiece. A modern Connecticut farmer is transported back to 12th-century England, where his 19th-century inventions — and his unmistakable American wit — collide with medieval chivalry. The result is a brilliant satire of progress, tradition, and the absurdity of human ambition, told with the humor only Twain could deliver.\n\nThis Norton edition is the authoritative text you need. Beyond Twain's original prose, it includes comprehensive backgrounds and sources, an analysis of composition and publication, and a survey of critical response. It transforms a great short novel into a deep literary experience, making it the definitive edition for students and casual readers alike.\n\nRead it anywhere on your favorite device with the EPUB edition.
