The New Atlantis

By: Francis Bacon

The New Atlantis is an unfinished utopian novel by Sir Francis Bacon, which was originally published in 1627. In the novel, Bacon outlined a vision of the future of human discovery and knowledge, expressing his aspirations and ideals for humankind. The novel paints the creation of a utopian land where "generosity and enlightenment, dignity and splendour, piety and public spirit" are the commonly held qualities in the population of the mythical Bensalem. The plan and organisation of his ideal college, Salomon's House (or Solomon's House), outlined the modern research university in both applied and pure sciences.
