In particular, it closely examines non-violence in Gerrard Winstanley's thought; millennialism and utopianism as mutual critiques; form and substance in early modern utopianism\/radicalism; Thomas More's utopian theatre of interests; and James Harrington and the political necessity of narrative fiction. This detailed analysis underpins observations about the longer term historical significance and meaning of both radicalism and utopianism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Colin Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319622315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319622316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"James Colin Davis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940776607999,"sku":"9783319622316","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1f23b686-c782-450c-8259-eadadb28a22e.jpg?v=1681449119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alternative-worlds-imagined-1500-1700-james-colin-davis-9783319622316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
