Expansion and modification of the ideas found in his 1888 Looking Backward. The most significant changes are in women’s position, which is now clearly equal to men, and in the political system, which is international and much more democratic, including, in many circumstances direct votes by the people. Considerably more on the nineteenth century and on the revolution. 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. 2^nd ed. Chicago, IL: The Peerage Press, 1938; and Talks On Nationalism. Chicago, IL: The Peerage Press, 1938. 1889 Bellamy, “With Eyes Shut,” and 1891 and 1895 Bellamy are set in the same eutopia. Utopias not directly connected to Looking Backward are 1886 Bellamy and 1889 Bellamy, “To Whom This May Come.”
