| Publisher Description: A Modern Utopia is one of the first important blueprints for the modern welfare state and an early major statement of Wells's idea of the World State, an idea that is perhaps his greatest contribution to the intellectual history of this century. In this quintessential utopia, as Lewis Mumford calls it, Wells sums up and clarifies the utopias of the past, and brings them into contact with the world of the present. The Bison Books edition, with an introduction by Mark R. Hillegas, associate professor of English at Southern Illinois University, brings back into print a work that has stimulated three generations of thinkers. |
