초록
This paper reads William Morris’s News from Nowhere, focusing on how he utilizes literary genres like romance and the novel to envision a utopia as a system of life founded on complete freedom, equality, and communism. William Guest, a time traveller from 19th-century England to a future England, witnesses the “work-pleasure,” rest, and happiness people enjoy in a utopia realized by a socialist revolution. On his travels through this utopia, Guest cannot help but contrast 19th-century England with the future utopia, and the despair and unhappiness people suffer in the former with the hope and happiness pervading every aspect of life in the latter. Significantly, these contrasts are recast as those between romance and the novel. While the utopia is presented as a blissful world of romance, 19th-century England is described as a miserable world of the novel in which only a few people live happily upon other people’s miseries. Guest’s time travel ends abruptly, much to his pain and grief. He does not, however, fall into despair because his journey to the future utopia enables him to cherish his hope to build “the new day of fellowship, and rest, and happiness” even though his travel turns out to be only a dream.
Abstract
This paper reads William Morris’s News from Nowhere, focusing on how he utilizes literary genres like romance and the novel to envision a utopia as a system of life founded on complete freedom, equality, and communism. William Guest, a time traveller from 19th-century England to a future England, witnesses the “work-pleasure,” rest, and happiness people enjoy in a utopia realized by a socialist revolution. On his travels through this utopia, Guest cannot help but contrast 19th-century England with the future utopia, and the despair and unhappiness people suffer in the former with the hope and happiness pervading every aspect of life in the latter. Significantly, these contrasts are recast as those between romance and the novel. While the utopia is presented as a blissful world of romance, 19th-century England is described as a miserable world of the novel in which only a few people live happily upon other people’s miseries. Guest’s time travel ends abruptly, much to his pain and grief. He does not, however, fall into despair because his journey to the future utopia enables him to cherish his hope to build “the new day of fellowship, and rest, and happiness” even though his travel turns out to be only a dream.
