    Mark Twain wrote "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" which was one of my favorite books for a long time.

    A 19th century handyman takes a blow to the head and wakes up in 6th century England. The rest of the book is this handyman trying to industrialize, modernize, and Americanize Arthurian England. It's been decades since the last time I picked it up but I remember it being pretty funny and poking at both contemporary society and how we romanticize the period.

        I did a quick Ctrl+F and it doesn't seem to appear in that book (not too surprising, since it wouldn't be relevant)
