Annotation

Dystopia followed by a eutopia. Opens with a colony of bees choosing capitalism and degenerating into starvation and war. A eutopia is then presented based on the ideas of Robert Owen (1771-1858), specifically his ideas on the formation of character. Most of the text is taken up with discussion of the ideas. See also J.C. Prince, "The Revolt of the Bees. Verses Suggested by Reading the Above Work; Presented to Me By My Valued Friend Quintus Hortensius." The New Moral World [6].58 (November 30, 1839): 927-28. See also 1834 and 1845 Morgan. For Owen's eutopias, see 1813, 1831, 1839, 1841, 1844, 1846, and 1855 (2) Owen.
