A review by arthurian
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
4.0
more of a 3.5 stars but going to round it up to 4 because I'm impressed this plot managed to keep my attention for 400+ pages.
this criticism of the chivalric society and romance is actually a criticism of much that is wrong with the 19th century (or today too) and a praise of developments twain viewed as important. for those of me who are more interested in the arthurian legend aspect of it, i think despite his harsh criticisms it is entertaining and informed about at least malory's le morte.
also sandy, my bestie.
