Is it possible to create a better world? Can this be done without
the image of an ideal world to guide us? What would such a world be
like? There has been a marked renewal of interest in utopian
thought, as the exposed economic, social and political dysfunctions
of modern society have forced us to re-examine our visions of the
future. Yet the wealth of utopian literature on which we could draw
remains inaccessible or poorly understood. This book readdresses
this imbalance, with a collection of essays, each centred on a key
passage in a canonical utopian work that challenges the commonly
accepted interpretation of that work and allows us to examine it
with fresh insight. At the same time, by contextualising each
passage within the text as a whole, readers are enabled to reflect
on the meaning and reception of the work and on its significance in
the history of utopian thought. Broad in scope and original in
approach, this textbook is an encouragement to students and
scholars alike to read the utopian classics afresh.
