This book address the relationship between utopian and radical
thought, particularly in the early modern period, and puts forward
alternatives approaches to imagined 'realities'. Alternative Worlds
Imagined, 1500-1700 explores the nature and meaning of radicalism
in a traditional society; the necessity of fiction both in
rejecting and constructing the status quo; and the circumstances in
which radical and utopian fictions appear to become imperative. 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.
