The Philosophy of the Enlightenment as an Influencing Vehicle of the Speech Portrayal of Yankee (on the Analysis of M. Twain “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court")статья
Аннотация: This paper features most notable ideas of the Enlightenment as represented in speech
of Hank Morgan, “the Yankee of the Yakees” arriving to King Arthur’s Court and changing the Old
Britain in accordance with what he thought to be reasonable. His verbal representation of the
Arthurian world as well as the image of his own industrialized Britain depends greatly on the ideas
about progress, mind and reason dating back to Enlightenment.
