"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 Bristol

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Edward Bellamy's prophetic novel about a young Boston man who is mysteriously transported from the 19th to the 21st century-from a world of war and want to a world of peace and plenty.The year is 2000. The place- Utopian America. The hero- anyone who has ever longed for escape to a better life.Translated into more than twenty languages, and the most widely read novel of its time, Looking Backward is more than a brilliant visionary's view of the future. It is a blueprint of the "perfect society," a guidebook that stimulated some of the greatest thinkers of our age. Today-in the very era it attempted to visualize-it is even more compelling than ever.With an Introduction by Walter James MillerAnd an Afterword by Eliot Fintushel Originally published in 1888, this prophetic work revolves around Julian West, a man who falls asleep near the end of the 19th century and wakes up in the year 2000. More than a brilliant visionary's view of the future, it is a guidebook that has stimulated some of the greatest thinkers of the modern age. Revised reissue.
