A review by thisisstephenbetts
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Henry Clarence Pitz, Mark Twain

4.0

Although a teeny bit of a slog at times, this is a wonderful, excoriating satire — with a more overt & extreme black humor than I have read in Twain before. Anti-slavery, anti-monarchy, anti-church; anti-ignorance, anti-superstition, anti-ludditeism. Pro-democracy, equality, freedom. There are no mistaking Twain's views, and it is mighty refreshing. I treasure Clarence's proposal to replace the monarchy with cats.
