A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Mark Twain

\nWhen A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court was published in 1889, Mark Twain was undergoing a series of personal and professional crises. In his Introduction, M. Thomas Inge shows how what began as a literary burlesque of British chivalry and culture developed to tragedy and into a \nnovel that remains a major literary and cultural text for generations of new readers. This edition reproduces a number of the original drawings by Dan Beard, of whom Twain said He not only illustrates the text but he illustrates my thoughts. \nAbout the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
