TARDE, GABRIEL (1843–1904). Underground Man. London: 1905. A deft and well-conceived fantasy, full of excellent criticism. Towards the past it is a utopia of reconstruction, towards the future--but herein lies much of its charm!--it is one of escape. WELLS, H. G. (1866-?). A Modern Utopia. New York: 1905. CRAM, RALPH ADAMS (1863–?). Walled Towns. Boston: 1919. Dr. Cram does not classify this work as a utopia; but the honest critic cannot help giving it that label. Dr. Cram sees no basis for eutopia without the system of values and the sanctions perpetuated by the Christian Church; since this leaves the greater part of humanity in Darkness, I cannot agree with him. Dr. Cram, however, is a fine scholar and a stimulating critic; and if one could only grant his assumptions his conclusions would be magnificent. MORLEY, HENRY. Ideal Commonwealths; Plutarch’s Lycurgus, More’s Utopia, Bacon’s New Atlantis, Campanella’s City of the Sun, and a Fragment of Hall’s Mundus Alter et Idem, with an introduction by Henry Morley. London: G. Routledge, 1886. Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Chapter One did not indicate the beginning of section “5”. Transcriber added it by referencing an earlier edition of the book. Text mostly uses “utopia” but sometimes uses “eutopia”. Both retained here. Page 104: “the tale end” was printed that way. Page 224: “perfunctory seal upon” was printed as “perfunctory real upon”; changed here. Page 231: “advertized” was printed that way. Page 294: “A. E.” was the pseudonym of George William Russell.
