Only a dozen or so pages of the Hawaiian novel survive; they're at Berkeley and are singularly uninteresting. More interesting, however, is an argument made by Kate Winter (SUNY Albany, I think) at MLA 18 months ago, that >Connecticut Yankee< developed from the Hawaiian novel. The presence of volcanos and naked children and some other environmental feature of >Yankee<, along with the nearly complete disappearance of the Hawaiian manuscript, makes this hypothesis intriguing. The timing is right too. Anyone have further thoughts on Winter's idea?
