Gazing in Useless Wonder: English Utopian Fictions, 1516-1800

By Artur Blaim

Gazing in Useless Wonder analyses the genre pattern of utopian fiction as it emerged in the Renaissance, focusing on utopias as self-referential texts that literally have to constitute themselves as imaginary or intentional entities before they can work as vehicles for socio-political ideas.
