Utopian thinking embraces fictional descriptions of how to create a
better (but not a perfect) alternative way of life as well as
intentional communities (that is, groups of people leading lives in
small communities for their own betterment and the betterment of
others). The first edition almost exclusively dealt with the
intentional-community side of utopianism; this second edition
offers a much more inclusive definition of the key term utopia by
offering a great many entries devoted to describing fictional or
literary utopian works. It is also heavily illustrated with plates
from utopian works, especially those from the heyday of utopianism
in the late nineteenth century. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Utopianism contains a chronology, an introduction,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on broad conceptual entries;
narrower entries about specific works; and narrower entries about
specific intentional communities or movements. This book is an
excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to
know more about Utopianism.
