Annotation

A novel describing the intentional community of New Sparta (160-318) in Paraguay, which is obviously based on William Lane (1861-1917) and the New Australia experiment. The settlers are described as Practical Communists following the ideals of William Morris (1834-96), which does not fit the actual New Australia. See 1888 and 1892 Lane for his utopias. See also 1893, 1895 and 1905 Nisbet.
