EqualityEQUALITY, first published in 1897, is the sequel to the 1888 book, Looking Backward-Bellamy's most popular work about a utopian Boston-and a response to the many criticisms of the first book. In EQUALITY, Bellamy answers those charges. Here, Bellamy addresses more social concerns of his day and delves into the more minor details of the lives of the futuristic Bostonians, including manners of dress and dining. Readers will be entertained by Bellamy's imaginings of the future, including recycled paper clothes and self-heating paper cookware. American author EDWARD BELLAMY (1850-1898) also wrote Dr. Heidenhoff's Process (1880) and The Duke of Stockbridge (1900). |
