Mark Twain is something like a national treasure for Americans. Ingenious, enterprising and with ample resources, he achieved enormous fame already in life, both as a writer and as a speaker.

Although he was never aware of this, when he wrote "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," Twain marked a benchmark in the CF. Only over the years could the true extent of the influence that this first-person satirical narrative had on the genre be appreciated.
