The classic American eutopia in which both business and labor were nationalized. Quite a few works have been published responding to or elaborating on 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. He also wrote two utopias not directly connected to Looking Backward; see 1886 Bellamy and 1889 Bellamy, \“To Whom This May Come.\”
