Rezension
Antonis Balasopoulos is to be heartily thanked for bringing back into print A.L. Morton’s’ marvelous book The English Utopia – and for providing us with not only a useful and insightful Introduction, but also a comprehensive bibliography of Lesley Morton's many writings. We definitely need such works in these difficult times when democracy is under siege by authoritarian forces. Morton’s chapters may well truly serve both to empower our critical thinking and to inspire our radical-democratic imaginations. - Harvey J Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy & Justice, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
Antonis Balasopoulos describes his job as an ‘exercise in historical reclamation.’ He is due much gratitude for both the scrupulousness and the expertise he brings to his task. The Introduction is a model of its kind, positioning Morton in his own milieu as a committed intellectual. Morton’s book more than deserves this careful attention. In this new Ralahine edition, The English Utopia appears as the seminal text in utopian studies it should have been. - Patricia McManus, Senior Lecturer, School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Brighton
