FOURIER, CHARLES FRANÇOIS MARIE (1772–1837). Traité de
l’Association domestique agricole. 2 vols. 1822. Le Nouveau
Monde Industriel. 2 vols. 1829. See also Albert Brisbane in
his General Introduction to the Social Sciences (Fourier’s
“Social Destinies”), and Selections from the Works of
Fourier, translated by Julia Franklin, with an introduction
by Charles Gide, London: 1901.
CABET, ÉTIENNE (1788–1856). Voyage en Icarie. Published in 1845
and numerous editions followed during the next five years;
see that of the Bureau du Populaie, Paris: 1848.
BUCKINGHAM, JAMES SILK (1786–1855). National Evils and Practical
Remedies, with a plan for a model town. London: 1848.
BULWER-LYTTON, E. (1803–1873). The Coming Race; or the New
Utopia. London: 185--. A fantastic romance about a people who
live underground, possess detachable wings, and command a
potency known as “vril.” It is perhaps not altogether without
significance that this new hierarchy of industrial angels was
conceived by Lytton in the same decade that saw the building
of the Crystal Palace.
PEMBERTON, ROBERT (--). The Happy Colony. London: 1854. This is
an appeal to the working class, somewhat similar in temper
and method to Buckingham’s appeal to the middle class.
Pemberton had an individual system of psychology which he
desired to apply in education. This utopia has now only a
limited historical significance.
BELLAMY, EDWARD (1850–1898). Looking Backward; Boston: 1888.
Equality; Boston: 1897.
HERTZKA, THEODOR (1845–?). Freeland: A Social Anticipation.
First edition published in German, 1889; English translation
published by the British Freeland Association in 1891. A
Visit to Freeland, or the New Paradise Regained. Translation
published by the above Association, London: 1894. The first
work lays the foundations for the utopia; the second is the
ideal commonwealth in action.
MORRIS, WILLIAM (1834–1896). News from Nowhere. London: 1890.
There have been numerous editions.
HOWARD, EBENEZER (1850–?). Garden Cities of Tomorrow. London:
1902. First published as Tomorrow in 1898. Unique among
utopian books in that its eutopia has been partly realized.
See numerous descriptions of Letchworth, the first Garden
City.
HUDSON, W. H. (--). A Crystal Age. London: 1906.
THIRION, ÉMILE (1825–?). Neustria: Utopie Individualiste. Paris:
1901. This is one of the rare, deliberately individualistic
utopias, founded on work, liberty, and property. It assumes
that a colony of Girondists were able to establish themselves
in South America.
HERZL, THEODOR (1860–1904). Altneuland. Leipzig: 1903.
