Annotation

Eutopia in which the ability to read minds brings self-knowledge and empathy. Bellamy is best known for his 1888 Looking Backward. After publishing Looking Backward Bellamy became a social reformer and was involved with two journals, The Nationalist (1889-91) and The New Nation (1891-94), which he edited and published, and wrote many essays defending or elaborating his position; some of these have been collected in his Edward Bellamy Speaks Again! Articles--Public Addresses--Letters. Chicago, IL: The Peerage Press, 1937. 2nd ed. Chicago, IL: The Peerage Press, 1938; and Talks On Nationalism. Chicago, IL: The Peerage Press, 1938. 1897 Bellamy is a sequel to Looking Backward and 1889 Bellamy, “With Eyes Shut,” and 1891 and 1895 Bellamy are set in the same eutopia. A utopia not directly connected to Looking Backward is 1886 Bellamy.
