Paper Summary:

Utopian fiction is a genre of writing that proposes an ideal society. In 1918, Morris's "News from Nowhere" advanced an ideal society that addressed the social problems of capitalism and industrialism and re-introduced a value to art as the moral ground of culture. Skinner, in 1946, proposed a utopian community that abandoned history and created a social reality based on "cultural engineering," an idea grounded in Skinner's own radical behaviorism. This paper examines the role of the individual in these two novels and the place of creativity in these utopian societies.
