The Yankee Explains the Title

Most people get the reference. If you don't, you can read Mark Twain's novel online here, or check out the Spark Notes online here. It's been a long time since I've read the novel, so I wasn't thinking in terms of content similarities when I came up with the title. I just thought it was catchy and slightly humorous. And while it's not as alien a place and culture as Arthurian Britain would have been to a 19th Century New Englander, it's still different enough to me after 52 years in Connecticut.
