This book re-examines the rise of utopian thought at the \u003ci\u003efin de si cle\u003c\/i\u003e, situating it in the social and political contradictions of the time and exploring the ways in which it articulated a deepening sense that the capitalist system might not be insuperable after all. The study pays particular attention to Edward Bellamy's seminal utopian fiction, \u003ci\u003eLooking Backward\u003c\/i\u003e (1888), embedding it in a number of unfamiliar contexts, and reading its richest passages against the grain, but it also offers detailed discussions of William Morris, H.G. Wells and Oscar Wilde. Both historical and theoretical in its approach, this book constitutes a substantial contribution to our understanding of the utopian imaginary, and an original analysis of the counter-culture in which it thrived at the \u003ci\u003efin de si cle\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raffaella Baccolini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303430725X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034307253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Raffaella Baccolini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652422955263,"sku":"9783034307253","price":81.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee58f500-f345-4f69-a2da-e85b7afb671c.jpg?v=1704216018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spectre-of-utopia-raffaella-baccolini-9783034307253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
