Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The story of Hank Morgan, a nineteenth-century American who is accidentally returned to sixth-century England, is a powerful analysis of such issues as monarchy versus democracy and free will versus determinism, but it is also one of Twain's finest comic novels, still fresh and funny after more than 100 years. This edition reproduces more than 40 of Dan Beard's original drawings.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [xxii]-xxiii).
What begins as a literary burlesque of British chivalry and culture grows into a disturbing satire of late 19th century technology and social thought.
