By bringing together a diverse range of novels, including Imlays The Emigrants (1793), Hawthornes The Blithedale Romance (1852), Howlands Papas Own Girl (1874), Griggss Imperium in Imperio (1899), and Du Boiss The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911), the book uncovers a shared narrative centered around intentional communities. Rather than presenting ideal societies, these works explore the audacious endeavors of individuals to embrace radically different lives, serving as poignant signposts in the communal history of the United States. Through insightful readings, this book offers a literary lens to communal studies, enriching our understanding of US utopianism and providing a valuable historical backdrop for those studying Pilgrims\/Puritans\/Founding Fathers as utopian practitioners. By highlighting the authors' assessments of the U.S.'s utopian potential and tracing the evolution of the utopian imagination across the nineteenth century, this book unveils the rich tapestry of ideas and aspirations that shaped the nation's development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 351g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030602819\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2020\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verena Adamik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103058850042,"sku":"9783030602819","price":66.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646302081549_book.jpg?v=1646943759","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-utopian-states-of-america-intentional-communities-in-novels-of-the-long-nineteenth-century-9783030602819","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
