I will concentrate on a specific aspect which struck me as most interesting. The question I want to pose is in how far the works are still hopeful and positive and how far they are already disillusioned and negative. Do they consider the idea of a utopian and perfect society to be desirable and possible? I found that Morris News from Nowhere is still a classic Utopia as it depicts a hopeful prospect of an ideal state of society, but it also introduces a new notion. A utopian society is not something out of human reach, but can be realised entirely. Morris basis was Marx theory and he really believed in the possibility of a truly communist and happy nation. Butlers work Erewhon should be rather called a satire, as it is mostly a criticism of Victorian society. But still, it uses the frame of a Utopian fiction and therefor also comments on it. From Erewhon can be concluded that mankind is not capable of true improvement and that a perfect system is intolerant and oppressive. Lyttons work The Coming Race is a mixture of criticism, offering answers and for the most part a discussion of the perfectibility of men and the desirability of perfection, coming to the conclusion that perfection and the desire for it is rather a threat to mankind.</p>...2462182Utopian Novels in Victorian England149149https://www.gandhi.com.mx/utopian-novels-in-victorian-england-9783640490837/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2123939/1f4b9dfd-704f-43c8-8365-70ce1a84fcc7.jpg?v=638383541946030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099783640490837_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9783640490837_<p>Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Potsdam (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Victorian Novels, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare three of the most influential Utopian novels of the Victorian era in Great Britain: William Morris News from Nowhere, Samuel Butlers Erewhon and Edward Bulwer-Lyttons The Coming Race. ...
