Description

Other Englands examines the rise of the early English utopia in the context of emergent capitalism. Above all, it asserts that this literary genre was always already an expression of social crisis and economic transition, a context refracted in the origin stories and imagined geographies common to its early modern form. Beginning with the paradigmatic popular utopias of Thomas More and Francis Bacon but attentive to non-canonical examples from the margins of the tradition, the study charts a shifting and, by the time of the English Revolution, self-critical effort to think communities in dynamic socio-spatial forms. Arguing that early utopias have been widely misunderstood and maligned as static, finished polities, Sarah Hogan makes the case that utopian literature offered readers and writers a transformational and transitional social imaginary. She shows how a genre associated with imagining systemic alternatives both contested and contributed to the ideological construction of capitalist imperialism. In the early English utopia, she finds both a precursor to the Enlightenment discourse of political economy and another historical perspective on the beginnings and enduring conflicts of global capital. Review "Articulating an original and distinctive argument about the place of utopia in the early modern period, this rich and stimulating book enlarges our understanding of the genre and sharpens our sense of the era. Sarah Hogan's innovative and comprehensive readings make a considerable contribution to the field, from a singular perspective." Author: Christopher Kendrick Source: Loyola University Chicago " Other Englands develops a brilliant account of the ways early modern English literature negotiated a highly fraught moment of political and economic transition. Hogan reads familiar works in exciting new ways and productively expands the canon. Her book is beautifully written, carefully argued, and fully persuasive." Author: Phillip E. Wegner Source: University of Florida, Gainesville From the Author Sarah Hogan is Assistant Professor of English at Wake Forest University.
