Often regarded as the apotheosis of Bacon's ideas through its depiction of an advanced 'scientific' society, it is also read as a seminal work of science fiction. Standing at the threshold of early modern culture, this key text incorporates the practical and visionary, utility and utopia. This volume of eight new essays by leading scholars provides a stimulating dialogue between a range of critical perspectives. Encompassing the fields of cultural history, history of science, literature and politics, the collection explores The New Atlantis' complex location within Bacon's oeuvre and its negotiations with cultural debates of the past and present. Contributors consider the book's use of rhetoric, its narrative contexts, its political and ethical implications, its relation to the natural knowledge of the period, and the function of miracles in New Atlantan society. The politics of colonialism and Jewish toleration, its complex representation of gender, and the role and politics of censorship are also explored. This volume will be the ideal companion to Bacon's The New Atlantis and for all students of literature, politics, history, cultural history and history of science. 410 0$aTexts in culture. 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aliterature 610 $abacon 610 $aatlantis 610 $aBensalem Township 610 $aPennsylvania 610 $aFrancis Bacon 610 $aNew Atlantis 610 $aSalomon's House 610 $aUtopia 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a824.3 700 $aPrice$b Bronwen$4auth$0800765 702 $aPrice$b Bronwen 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910287937303321 996 $aFrancis Bacon's New Atlantis$93386095 997 $aUNINA
