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. 606 $aUtopias$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aUtopias$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aUtopias in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aCapitalism in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aUtopias in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aCapitalism in literature. 676 $a823.009/372 700 $aHogan$b Sarah$c(Professor of English),$01047055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467681903321 996 $aOther Englands$92474400 997 $aUNINA
