Year for Search | 1875 |
Date Published | 1875 |
Publisher | Samuel Tinsley |
Place Published | London |
Annotation | Eutopia on an isolated island in the North Sea founded by an "exact geometrician". Physically the country is laid out in a strict, orderly pattern designed to provide easy access and equality. Technologically advanced. All people work at agriculture and at an appropriate trade. In exchange for this labor, they are provided with all their needs. Free love but with strict control of the size of the population. Stress on order and routine. Etymonia appears to be Ireland in that the old name for the island means Green and the size and shape of the island roughly correspond to Ireland. |
