Beschreibung:
While tracing the development of fiction in the writing of modern utopias, the author seeks to demonstrate in specific ways how those utopias have become increasingly literary. After an introductory discussion of how we understandand how we should understandmodern utopian fictions, the book provides several examples of the ways in which those understandings affect our appreciation of utopian fiction. There are chapters on H. G. Wellss Time Machine; Bernard Shaws Major Barbara; Aldous Huxleys Brave New World; George Orwells Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four; William Goldings Lord of the Flies; and Iris Murdochs The Bell. This book will inspire readers to devote more time to this literature, and it will be invaluable to those designing courses on utopian fiction. Highly recommended.Choice
