Generic swept-away-to-a-magical-realm stories are as old as stories. It's just another form of the Campbellian underworld.

A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court is blatantly an audience-insert into another known genre so the rando protagonist can be a world-shaping force just by having common knowledge. He even gets there by getting smacked so hard he could die.
