HARTFORD, July 21, 1889. A connecticut yankee in king arthur's court. A word of explanation. It was in Warwick Castle that I came across the curious strangerwhom I am going to talk about.
Марк Твен A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The question as to whether there is such a thing as divine right of kings is not settled in this book. It was found too difficult. The ungentle laws and customs touched upon in this tale are historical, and the episodes which are used to illustrate them are also historical. It is not pretended that these laws and customs existed in England in the sixth century; no, it is only pretended that inasmuch as they existed in the English and other civilizations of far later times, it is safe to consider that it is no libel upon the sixth century to suppose them to have been in practice in that day also.

Mark Twain - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
King Arthur's Court The Yankee observes the trappings of the court and the Knights of the Round Table.
The Yankee asks a pair of commoners where he is, assuming that they are members of a lunatic asylum. The second commoner points him to a boy in page's clothing, who tells him he is in King Arthur's Court in the year 528, on the 19th of June. The Yankee observes the trappings of the court and the Knights of the Round Table. He also notices the prisoners being held captive, and notes the contrast between their pain and filth, and the shining features of the knights. It kind of bothers him since the knights are supposed to be moral.

King Arthur joins him, but has extreme difficulty in acting like a peasant convincingly. Although Arthur is somewhat disillusioned about the national standard of life after hearing the story of a mother infected with smallpox, he still ends up getting Hank and himself hunted down by the members of a village after making several extremely erroneous remarks about agriculture. Twain first conceived of the idea behind A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in December 1884 and worked on it between 1885 and 1889. The principal part of the writing was done at Twain's summer home at Elmira, New York and was completed at Hartford, Connecticut.
