Informationen zum Autor MARTHA BARTTER is Professor of English, Division of Language and Literature, Truman State University. Utopia forms a major aspect of human desire, one that is as important as religion. Understanding utopia and the ways in which it can collapse into dystopia is crucial in many disciplines. Fantastic literature (including science fiction and fantasy) is the only form of literature that takes utopia/dystopia seriously. Therefore, analysis of these works provides a basis for serious experimentation in social science. Analyzes utopian and dystopian political systems through works of fantastic literature.
