Edward Bellamy

By Arthur E. Morgan

Book Overview

The book ""Edward Bellamy"" by Arthur E. Morgan is a biography of the American author and socialist, Edward Bellamy. Bellamy is best known for his utopian novel ""Looking Backward"", which was published in 1888 and became a bestseller. The book describes a future society in which all citizens have equal access to resources and work is organized for the common good. Morgan's biography explores Bellamy's life and work in detail, tracing his intellectual development and political beliefs. The book covers Bellamy's early years as a journalist and writer, his involvement in the socialist movement, and the publication and reception of ""Looking Backward"". Morgan also examines the influence that Bellamy's ideas had on American society and politics, both during his lifetime and in the years since his death. The book includes a discussion of the ways in which Bellamy's vision of a more equal and just society has been realized (or not) in the years since ""Looking Backward"" was published.
