Description

English and American literary utopias often use a travel narrative frame that presents more than a simple formula for making their fantastic discoveries and vicarious estrangements seem as credible, entertaining, and useful to readers as the real-life adventures and factual accounts of exploration these fictions have imitated since Columbus stumbled upon his "new world." What becomes of utopianism's claims to locate intellectual and speculative resources for human liberation, communal perfection, and civilized progress in the cultural properties of imaginary foreigners once its literature's productive and restrictive relations to the imperialist, colonialist, and capitalist ideologies of so-called Western nations have been exposed? For literary scholars, cultural historians, and others interested in studying utopian fiction's generic construction from the romanticizations of alienation and exploitation that empowered 500 years of Anglophone empire-building, this book offers its deconstructive analyses of paradoxical utopia's parodies of travel and its discourses.
