An Irish Utopia: A Story Of A Phase Of The Land Problem (1910) is a historical novel by John H. Edge that explores the land problem in Ireland during the early 20th century. The book follows the story of a young Irishman named Michael O'Grady, who dreams of creating a utopia where the land is owned and worked by the people who live on it. As Michael travels through Ireland, he meets various characters who represent different sides of the land problem, from wealthy landowners to struggling tenant farmers. Along the way, he learns about the history of the land question in Ireland and the various attempts to solve it, including the Land Acts of the late 19th century.
