Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a classic 1889 novel written by Mark Twain. Hank Morgan, a resident of Hartford, Connecticut, suffers a blow to the head and inexplicably awakens to find himself in sixth century Britain. There, he is able to convince King Arthur that he is a powerful wizard and ends up assuming the job of the king's adviser, and attempts to impose modern technology and values onto the society.The novel is both a satire and a seminal work of time travel science fiction. The story has been adapted many times for film, television, and other forms of media. Surprisingly enough, given the book's popularity, most literary critics rank Connecticut Yankee among the worst of Twain's written works. Although, that's like saying Macbeth is the worst of Shakespeare's tragedies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It's in public domain; the full text can be downloaded for free at Project Gutenberg. | |

Accidental Time Travel: Hank inexplicably winds up in sixth century England after taking a blow to the head. How he gets back is more explicable. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Hank is a charismatic yet flawed hero. The lying starts out as just a means to save his neck, but develops into a plan to increase his own power so he can bring modern civilization to the ignorant, superstitious, and unfree time he finds himself in. Many of the nobles and clergy are outright villainous, and Hank does a lot to help the downtrodden people, so it is possible to overlook Hank’s increasingly autocratic and imperialistic tendencies. In the end, when the nobility and clergy join forces to crush Hank and the potential for popular freedom, he resorts to child soldiers and industrial methods of warfare in a bloody last stand. | |

All Just a Dream: Ambiguous; the book implies Hank may have just been hit on the head too hard and dreamt the whole thing. | |
