Broadview Press Ltd Looking Backward: 2000-1887
Book SynopsisEdward Bellamy’s Looking Backward: 2000-1887 (1888) is one of the most influential utopian novels in English. The narrative follows Julian West, who goes to sleep in Boston in 1887 and wakes in the year 2000 to find that the era of competitive capitalism is long over, replaced by an era of co-operation. Wealth is produced by an “industrial army” and every citizen receives the same wage.This edition contains a rich selection of appendices, including excerpts from Bellamy’s Equality and other writings; contemporary responses (by William Morris, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others); excerpts from utopian works by Morris and William Dean Howells; and an excerpt from Henry George’s Progress and Poverty.Trade Review“There is no better book than Looking Backward for understanding the intersecting private and public spheres in Victorian America. This is easily the best edition on the market, thanks to the fine introduction that puts Bellamy in the sweep of utopian writing, the nice selection of contemporary responses, and the excerpts from Bellamy’s ‘Religion of Solidarity’ and Equality.” — Richard Fox, University of Southern California“This edition is set apart from all other editions by Alex MacDonald’s excellent introduction and annotations and an excellent selection of related texts.” — Lyman Tower Sargent, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Editor of Utopian Studies“This edition is extremely welcome. The introduction is clear and accessible, and both situates the text historically and stresses its continuing relevance. Above all, the additional texts provide supporting material that makes this edition a truly invaluable resource.” — Ruth Levitas, University of BristolTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionA Note on the TextEdward Bellamy: A Brief ChronologyLooking Backward: 2000-1887Appendix A: Why and How Bellamy Wrote Looking BackwardAppendix B: William Morris’s review of Looking Backward and Bellamy’s review of Morris’s News from Nowhere, plus periodical reviews of Looking BackwardAppendix C: Excerpt from “The Religion of Solidarity”Appendix D: Passages from Equality Showing Development of Bellamy’s Utopian Ideas 1887-1897Appendix E: A Victorian “Angel In the House”—Emma BellamyAppendix F: A Response to Looking Backward by Charlotte Perkins GilmanAppendix G: “The True Remedy” from Henry George’s Progress and Poverty (1897)Appendix H: Excerpts from A Traveler From Altruria by William Dean HowellsAppendix I: An Excerpt on Education from William Morris’s News from Nowhere (1890)Further Reading

Book Synopsis''No person can be blamed for refusing to read another word of what promises to be a mere imposition upon his credulity.''Julian West, a feckless aristocrat living in fin-de-siècle Boston, plunges into a deep hypnotic sleep in 1887 and wakes up in the year 2000. America has been turned into a rigorously centralized democratic society in which everything is controlled by a humane and efficient state. In little more than a hundred years the horrors of nineteenth-century capitalism have been all but forgotten. The squalid slums of Boston have been replaced by broad streets, and technological inventions have transformed people''s everyday lives. Exiled from the past, West excitedly settles into the ideal society of the future, while still fearing that he has dreamt up his experiences as a time traveller.Edward Bellamy''s Looking Backward (1888) is a thunderous indictment of industrial capitalism and a resplendent vision of life in a socialist utopia.

Penguin Books Ltd News from Nowhere and Other Writings Penguin
Book SynopsisThis volume illustrates the variety of William Morris's prose, while focusing on one theme: the earthly paradise. The Nowhere of News from Nowhere (1890) is England in 2102, an ideal pastoral society born out of revolution. It is as compelling a dream of the future as the nightmares of Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Exhilaratingly, it reminds us that nothing is inevitable about the way we livenow or in 1890.Table of ContentsPart 1 Romance: the story of the unknown Church; a King's lesson; two extracts from "A Dream of John Ball"; "News from Nowhere". Part 2 Lectures: the lesser arts; some hints on pattern-designing; useful work versus useless toil; the hopes of civilization. Part 3 Occasional prose: "Looking Backward" - a review of "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy; under an elm-tree, or, thoughts in the countryside; preface in "The Nature of Gothic" by John Ruskin; foreword to "Utopia" by Sir Thomas More; how I became a socialist; a note by William Morris on his aims in founding the Kelmscott Press. Part 4 Letters: [the Eastern question]: letter to the "Daily News"; [anti-scrape]: letter to the "Athenaeum"; [St Mark's, Venice]: letter to the "Daily News".

Broadview Press Ltd When the Sleeper Wakes
Book SynopsisAs George Orwell wrote in 1940, “Everyone who has ever read When the Sleeper Wakes remembers it.” Graham, the “sleeper” of the title, falls into a cataleptic trance in 1897. Graham will survive on life support for 203 years, suddenly waking in 2100. He wakes to a London encased in a glass dome, in which the Victorian class system has hardened into castes and a revolution is brewing. An important influence on later dystopian novels, Sleeper is a deeply pessimistic book, although Wells could not resist an ending ambiguous enough to permit the reader a faint gleam of optimism. The novel was re-written and published in 1908 as The Sleeper Awakes, but this edition preserves the original version. Historical appendices include contemporary reviews, Henri Lanos illustrations from The Graphic, and other utopian fiction from the period.Trade Review“In his masterly introduction to H.G. Wells’s 1899 novel When the Sleeper Wakes, John Sutherland amply demonstrates its enduring relevance to the contemporary reader, even though it is one of Wells’s lesser-known works. Sutherland’s assessment of the novel is not only extraordinarily erudite and informative but also witty and immensely readable. He provides a lively biography of Wells alongside an appraisal of the novel that is brim-full of fascinating contextual detail and penetrating critical observations. The appendices offer an invaluable historical background to the novel’s inspiration, reception, and film adaptations, as well as reproductions of the fabulous illustrations accompanying the serialization in The Graphic. The two Prefaces and the “Afterword” give us a unique personal glimpse into the development of Wells’s ideas and his writing processes. For any fan or scholar of Wells, this is a much-needed, exemplary revisiting of his tale of time travel.” — Linda Dryden, Edinburgh Napier University“John Sutherland has produced a knowledgeable, classroom-friendly edition of one of the lesser-known masterpieces of Wells’s scientific fantasies. When the Sleeper Wakes brims with some of Wells’s most prophetic technological inventions and radical political ideas, all of which are expertly discussed and contextualized in Sutherland’s introduction, notes, and appendices.” — Jeremy Withers, Iowa State University“… this novel deserves to be studied by a larger audience, and John Sutherland is well suited to the task of helping to bring When the Sleeper Wakes to more readers. … this is another commendable volume by Broadview Press. This Canadian publisher continues to produce high-quality, classroom-friendly, affordable editions of many literary works, and their roster of texts by H. G. Wells is now up to half a dozen titles. … One can only hope that we continue to see more Wells volumes published by this press.” — Jeremy Withers, The WellsianTable of Contents Appendix A: Contemporary Reviews 1.

Broadview Press Ltd News from Nowhere
Book SynopsisWritten in 1890, at the close of William Morris’s most intense period of political activism, News from Nowhere is a compelling articulation of his mature views on art, work, community, family, and the nature and structure of the ideal society. A utopian narrative of a future society, it is also an immensely entertaining novel.This Broadview edition includes a wide variety of contextualizing documents, including portions of Morris’s essays, lectures, and journalism; excerpts from precursor utopian texts; writings on Bloody Sunday, art, work, and revolution; and contemporary reviews.Trade Review“Stephen Arata, through his insightful introduction and his careful selection of documents, has created an invaluable edition of News from Nowhere, one of the seminal texts of the nineteenth century.” — Peter Stansky, Stanford University“This astute and long overdue reappraisal provides a lucid overview and a wealth of contextual information. An excellent resource.” — Shannon L. Rogers, Saint Joseph’s University, Editor, Newsletter of the William Morris Society in the United States“Stephen Arata provides an especially informative account of the social here and now out of which an imagined Nowhere emerged. The rich selection of accompanying texts from British and continental radicals is particularly valuable and full of surprises. This is a fine edition for a new century that invites us to read Morris’s utopia freshly while it provides ample material to help us do so.” — Elizabeth Helsinger, University of ChicagoTable of ContentsIntroductionWilliam Morris: A Brief ChronologyA Note on the TextNews from NowhereAppendix A: Morris on the Platform From “Art and Socialism” (1884) From “How We Live and How We Might Live” (1884) From “The Society of the Future” (1887) Appendix B: Art, Work, and Society Robert Owen, from Report to the County of Lanark (1820) John Ruskin, from “The Nature of Gothic” (1852) Karl Marx, from Das Kapital (1867) Henry George, from Progress and Poverty (1879) James MacNeill Whistler, from “Mr. Whistler’s Ten O’Clock” (1885) Eleanor Marx-Aveling and Edward Aveling, from “The Woman Question” (1886) Mona Caird, from “The Emancipation of the Family” (1890) Peter Kropotkin, from The Conquest of Bread (1892) Appendix C: Utopia/Dystopia Sir Thomas More, from Utopia (1516) Samuel Butler, from Erewhon; or, Over the Range (1872) Richard Jefferies, from After London; or, Wild England (1885) Jane Hume Clapperton, from Margaret Dunmore; or, A Socialist Home (1888) Edward Bellamy, from Looking Backward, 2000-1887 (1888) Oscar Wilde, from “The Soul of Man Under Socialism” (1891) Florence Dixie, from Gloriana; or, the Revolution of 1900 (1892) Appendix D: Revolution or Reform Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, from Manifesto of the Communist Party (1848) John Stuart Mill, from “Chapters on Socialism” (1879) H.M.

Broadview Press Ltd The Time Machine: An Invention
Book SynopsisWells was interested in the implications of evolutionary theory on the future of human beings at the biological, sociological, and cultural levels, and The Time Machine, short and readable, draws on many of the social and scientific debates of the time. The Broadview edition of this science fiction classic includes extensive materials on Wells’s scientific and political influences.Trade Review“This is undoubtedly the definitive edition of H.G. Wells’s masterpiece, as fresh today in its imaginative power as the day it was written; but here refreshed by excellent introduction, notes and a comprehensive collection of appendices by Wells’s contemporaries. The method could not be bettered.” — Brian W. Aldiss, author of the Helliconia trilogy; Billion Year Spree: A History of Science Fiction and, most recently, White Mars: or, the Mind Set Free: A 21st-Century Utopia“This is an invaluable edition of a text with a crucial role in modern culture. Wielding his meticulous scholarship and wide-ranging knowledge, Ruddick produces a splendid introduction and a rich selection of contextual materials.” — H. Bruce Franklin, author of War Stars: The Superweapon and the American Imagination and Future Perfect: American Science Fiction of the Nineteenth Century“Ruddick offers a wide-ranging and stimulating Introduction to this generously documented edition of one of the great source texts of modern science fiction. General readers, students, and scholars will all be grateful for the comprehensive appendices, which provide a full selection of the scientific, philosophical, and cultural contexts out of which The Time Machine first emerged. This should be the scholarly edition for some time to come.” — Douglas Barbour, University of Alberta“The structure of Ruddick’s book makes the complexity of The Time Machine easy to map, while the critical materials provide a basis for deep and detailed study. The impressive scholarship included ensures that it will remain a useful resource for teachers, essential for libraries and especially suitable for students or newcomers to Wells’ canon.” — Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts“I exclusively use your edition of The Time Machine and cannot say enough about its perspective. Mathematics and science in literature is a specialty of mine, and there is no finer edition of that text. It is a keystone in my Mathematics and Science in the Humanities course.

Oxford University Press Political Thought
Book SynopsisHuman beings live together in societies which, by their very nature, give rise to institutions governing the behaviour and freedom of individuals. This raises important questions about how these institutions ought to function, and the extent to which actual systems of government succeed or fail in meeting these ideals. This Oxford Reader contains 140 key writings on political thought, covering issues about human nature and its relation to society, the extent to which the powers of the State are justified, the tension between liberty and rights, and the way resources should be distributed. Topics such as international relations, minority rights, democracy, socialism, and conservatism are also discussed, by contributors ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Foucault, Isaiah Berlin, and Martin Luther King.Table of ContentsPREFACE; INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER 1: HUMAN NATURE; INTRODUCTION; 1A: THE NATURAL STATE OF MANKIND; 1.

Graphic Arts Books Looking Backward
Book SynopsisJulian West is an aristocrat in 19th century America. He has all that he would ever need, a happy engagement, wealth, and a pleasant place to live. Because of his comfortable place in society, Julian is unsympathetic to the plight of the middle and lower class, and even looks to their protests and strikes with distain and contempt. One day, to calm himself, he decides to be put in a hypnotic sleep by his doctor, in his own underground bunker. This was routine for Julian, but when tragedy in the form of a fire strikes, Julian is presumed dead and left in the bunker. A century later, Julian is found, but wakes to a world he could never predict. With the help of the man that found him, Doctor Leete, and Leete’s daughter, Edith, Julian becomes familiar with the 20th century American reality of equality between the sexes, the abolition of poverty, free education, and fair working conditions. Julian must then accept recognize his unempathetic views of the past, now understanding that life is better when people of all genders, classes, and race can be happy. But when Julian finds himself back in the 19th century, he struggles to convince others of his knowledge, and starts to wonder if the ideal 20th century was all a dream. Looking Backward was one of the most commercially successful novels of the 19th century, and upon its publication, inspired mass political movement. With the portrayal of the 20th century, Bellamy advocates for equality, and rejects war and capitalism. By depicting a happy working environment, where citizens had the freedom to choose their occupations, receive fair wages, and are able to retire at a reasonable time, Bellamy raises awareness for the working class. Looking Backward has since inspired the ideology of socialism, and proposes solutions to problems that America still struggles with today. This edition of Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy features a striking new cover design and is reprinted in a readable font. With these changes, the compelling plot and insight of Looking Backward is accessible and worthy of conversation.

West Margin Press Equality
Book SynopsisEquality (1897) is a novel by Edward Bellamy. The sequel to Bellamy’s bestselling novel Looking Backward, 2000-1887 (1888) is a product of decades of work on the socialist theories that captivated thousands of Americans and inspired the formation of the People’s Party. Although Bellamy died before his vision could be realized, many of the ideas that circulate in Equality—including vegetarianism, feminism, and the abolition of private capital—continue to inform left-wing politics today. “He learned that there were no longer any who were or could be richer or poorer than others, but that all were economic equals. He learned that no one any longer worked for another, either by compulsion or for hire, but that all alike were in the service of the nation working for the common fund, which all equally shared…” After a century in a hypnosis-induced coma, Julian West emerges to a fundamentally different world. Shocked at first, he soon understands that the changes made to the American economy at the tail end of the Gilded Age were not only just, but entirely necessary. In this sequel to Looking Backward, 2000-1887, Bellamy provides more detail on the theories which informed the construction of a revolutionary socialist utopia in the United States. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edward Bellamy’s Equality is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Peter Lang International Academic Publishers The Polyphony of Utopia: Critical Negativities
Book Synopsis«Through detailed, elegant interpretations of utopian novels produced in the United States and the Soviet Union, Pavla Veselá casts aside standard commonplaces about East / West cultural divergences and reveals the critical function of utopian fiction that is shared in the two national contexts.» (Michael Hardt, Professor of Literature, Duke University) «It is encouraging to read The Polyphony of Utopia in our cynical and desperate time. By discussing a number of Russian and American utopian novels in the light of ‘utopian realism,’ addressing the uncertainty, anxiety and doubt contained in their visions of hope, Pavla Veselá proves the importance and relevance of the transformation of today’s world toward Utopia.» (Thomas Lahusen, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto) Utopias – literary visions of better, more just and happier communities – have been misconceived as «mere fantasies» on the one hand and «models to implement» on the other. Building on the notion of «critical utopia» and elaborating on interpretations of literary works as contradictory and incomplete, the book analyses selected utopian and dystopian novels by five writers: Edward Bellamy, Alexander Bogdanov, Ivan Yefremov, Marge Piercy and Octavia E. Butler. It argues that departing from the conventions of realism, utopias advance credible visions of more perfect ways of living and being which are nevertheless destabilized through gothic and poetic generic elements. Unresolved issues are further explored in (utopian as well as dystopian) sequels and prequels. The novels analysed in detail include Bellamy’s Looking Backward 2000-1887 (1888) and Equality (1897), Bogdanov’s Red Star: A Utopia (1908) and Engineer Menni: A Novel of Fantasy (1913), Yefremov’s Andromeda: A Space-Age Tale (1957) and The Hour of the Bull (1970), Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time (1976) and He, She and It (1991), and Butler’s Parable of the Sower (1993) and Parable of the Talents (1998).Table of ContentsContents: Utopian Polyphony – Genres in Utopia – Critical Negativity – In Concrete Terms – Gothic Corners – Poetry in Prose – The Story of Genres.

Lexington Books Human Nature and Politics in Utopian and
Book SynopsisThis book examines conceptions of human nature and how such ideas impact the political arrangements in the works ofThomas More, Edward Bellamy, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell. By teasing out the underlying conceptions of human nature in these novels, this book links the ontology of their works directly to their political prescriptions.Trade ReviewHuman Nature and Politics in Utopian and Anti-Utopian Fiction is more than a book about idealistic and pessimistic fictional writers. Bagchi skillfully considers whether human nature is a guide or a straight jacket for deciding how best to act. If nature does not direct choice, are we wise enough to construct a good society or will unrestrained freedoms lead to horrifying results? As Bagchi points out, the answers to these questions will decide our political destiny. -- James Pontuso, Hampden-Sydney CollegeBagchi’s dispassionate analysis of utopian and dystopian fiction shows how these genres help us better understand ourselves. Utopias reflect humanity’s perennial quest for a harmonious and stable world—a world quite unlike our own. Dystopias chasten utopian hopes, insisting on the recalcitrance of human nature and its resistance to the social engineering necessary to pursue utopia. For Bagchi, the worlds created by More, Bellamy, Huxley, Orwell, and Le Guin are so many invitations to consider the deepest questions of human nature and politics. -- Sara Henary, Missouri State UniversityBagchi provokes readers of utopias/dystopias to describe and evaluate how their authors have framed what people are made of and are capable of as a subject of intense interest and interdisciplinary heft. Using classic texts and deep insights in political science, philosophy, and psychology, she provides an indispensable analytical structure for reconsidering all texts on the utopian/anti-utopian/dystopia continuum. As this genre (broadly considered) of texts grows in number and importance to readers and viewers in our current era of critique of what is and what can be, her approach is rich, revelatory, and critical to students and teachers. -- Kim McCollum-Clark, Millersville UniversityTable of ContentsChapter One: The Imperfection of Utopia: The Combination of Reason and Religion in Thomas More Chapter Two: The Mutability of Human Nature in Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward Chapter Three: Technology and Human Nature in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World Chapter Four: The Totalitarian State and Human Nature in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four

Harvard University Press American Protest Literature
Book SynopsisAmerican Protest Literature presents sources from eleven protest movements—political, social, and cultural—from the Revolution to abolition to gay rights to antiwar protest. In this impressive work, Zoe Trodd provides an enlightening and inspiring survey of this most American form of literature.Trade ReviewIn this time of warrantless wiretaps and imprisonment without trial, [this anthology] remind[s] us how hard previous generations of Americans fought to preserve and broaden our civil and human rights… By linking original works to later pieces Trodd underlines the historical roots of American dissent and the ongoing relevance of these writings. -- Duncan Stewart * Library Journal (starred review) *Trodd organizes this excellent anthology around 11 reform movements, most based on race, class, or gender (e.g., the American Revolution, abolition, women's suffrage, gay rights). Collecting the work of both established writers and new voices, the book comprises some hundred pieces (1–3 pages each): prose excerpts, political documents, poems, photographs, film briefs, essays, fiction, narratives, and orations… This excellent book can serve as a textbook as well as a resource on social change and the literature thereof. Indeed, the persuasiveness of the collection raises the question not only of whether protest literature is a genre of its own, but also of whether it is the most American literary form. -- L. L. Johnson * Choice *The recently published treasure American Protest Literature, edited by Zoe Trodd…belongs on our bookshelves for two types of enjoyment. For starters, it is an invaluable reference, the first anthology to collect and examine American literature 'that holds the nation to its highest ideals, castigating it when it falls short and pointing the way to a better collective future.' It is also a great pleasure to read the 500-plus pages… May the daily newspaper and the nightly news glow with new perspective.

SAGE Publications Inc American Political Thought
Book SynopsisPresident Obama's hope of bringing a new kind of politics to Washington has fallen on hard times, with hardening party lines reflecting ideological polarization. Utilizing the organizing theme of partisan gridlock in the seventh edition's introductory materials and author headnotes, editor Michael Cummings reminds readers that partisanship has long been a recurring problem for Americans, dating back to the deadly conflicts among the Iroquois nations, to the debates of the constitutional convention, and to the near destruction of the young republic during the Civil War. American Political Thought challenges students to examine their own political thinking in light of insights from past thinkers and in terms of the challenges they face as citizens of the twenty-first century. Along with time-tested readings, about one-third of this edition's authors are new, including a number of thinkers from earlier periods, as well as more recent selections from liberal, conservative,Trade Review"Overall, the book is excellent. It is well organized and quite inclusive." -- Neal Wise"Overall, the selections in American Political Thought really help to bring these debates alive in my classes. It helps my students understand where we are coming from and where we are going as a nation. In particular, the effort over the last few editions to bring in more diversity of political thought has been really beneficial." -- Brian Russell"This is a great book to introduce students to a wide selection of American political theorists. The organization of the book is excellent—I can assign readings based on themes or times in American history, allowing me to make connections between theories/theorists and current events or policies that students can relate to." -- Paul Hathaway"American Political Thought offers a good selection of writings. The editor’s introductions set up the readings very well." -- Charles S. Matzke, Michigan State University"It’s an outstanding resource of primary texts for students to become acquainted with. I think the introductory material is just right—not too much, but enough information to give students a framework within which to assess what they read." -- Marie A.
