Book SynopsisTrade Review"[F]or those who are interested in attaining an expanded understanding of the political potential of Thoreau's writings,
Utopias of One will be a welcome addition to the body of Thoreau scholarship"
---David Faflik, Thoreau Society"Truly global in perspective and local in detail . . . Kotin’s
Utopias of One breaks a new path in conceiving a writer’s utopian position as a form of political resistance. . . . The book has great appeal for readers and researchers of utopian literature, and it could also have far-reaching impact on empire studies."
