Robert Dale Owen (1801 77) was a social reformer and politician who
emigrated to the United States in 1825. He was elected to the US
House of Representatives in 1842, and appointed US Minister at
Naples in 1853. He was the author of political pamphlets, as well
as books inspired by spiritualism, such as Footfalls on the
Boundary of Another World (1860; also reissued in this series).
First published in 1874, this autobiography focuses on Owen's early
life, beginning with the history of his family before his birth. As
well as Owen's childhood in New Lanark, it documents the beginnings
of the experimental community set up by Robert Owen, the author's
father, in New Harmony, Indiana. Owen, who emigrated to the United
States to help his father in this project, tells of his own
experience of communal life, and sheds light on an early example of
Utopian socialism.
