The Cambridge Companion to Utopian Literature (Cambridge Companions to Literature),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Since the publication of Thomas More's genredefining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an everexpanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen EightyFour and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Chapters address the difficult definition of the concept of utopia, and consider its relation to science fiction and other literary genres. The volume takes an innovative approach to the major themes predominating within the utopian and dystopian literary tradition, including feminism, romance and ecology, and explores in detail the vexed question of the purportedly western' nature of the concept of utopia. The reader is provided with a balanced overview of the evolution and current state of a longstanding, rich tradition of historical, political and literary scholarship.
