The Last Utopians: Four Late Nineteenth-Century Visionaries and Their Legacy

"This is an excellent book. Its focus on 'lived utopianism' and concern with contemporary movements such as ecological intentional communities is especially relevant in a time of widespread political and economic discontent."--Florence Boos, University of Iowa

"Beautifully clear and coherent, and enlivened by touches of humor, The Last Utopians illuminates the unique contributions of Bellamy, Morris, Carpenter, and Gilman and makes a persuasive case for the continuing value of their work. The book should appeal to a wide range of readers who are interested in history, literature, and politics, as well as the development of feminism and gay liberation."--Naomi Jacobs, University of Maine
