Synopsis

Man・ ・s ion of a better world has been a sustaining and dynamic force in his history from earliest times. Nell Eurich traces and puts in historic perspective the evolution of some of mankind・ ・s most vital beliefs as recorded in Utopian literature. Although many Utopias have been yzed from social, economic, and political points of w, Eurich・ ・s is the first study to concentrate on the role of science in providing the anticipated blessings. Focusing on the seventeenth century, she discusses, among other utopists, Campanella, Andreae, Bacon, Hartlib, Cowley, and Glanvill, pointing out the uses they made of the science of their day in the ideal societies they were describing.
