Early Modern Anti-Utopias
Dystopias and counter-utopias appeared as a literary (sub)genre long before the well-known texts authored by Zamyatin, Orwell and Huxley in the twentieth century. This book documents the emergence and development of classical anti-utopias from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. It starts from the idea that Renaissance utopias were conceived as humanistic alternatives to the Terrestrial Paradise of the Christian tradition. Thomas More, Francis Bacon, Johann Valentin Andreae, Tomasso Campanella and many other thinkers and writers sought to recover the Garden of Eden for humans, attempting to replace the City of God with a City of Man. However, utopian optimism was soon to be challenged by several theoretical critiques and institutional attacks, legitimized by three main doctrinal positions: Counter-Reformation theology, Cartesian rationalism and English empiricism. Throughout the early modern age, these ideologies shaped a series of resolute arguments against the hope that mankind could establish by itself a perfect society and a paradise on earth. Starting with Joseph Hall and Artus Thomas, many authors took on official and public censorship and reshaped their fiction into critiques of utopian visions. Instead of imagining ideal places, they began to conceive counter-utopian societies and terrestrial infernos. This book therefore charts the early modern cartography of the antiutopian subgenre, while also focusing on numerous case analyses.

Three Prayers and Sermons
Three Prayers and Sermons gathers Jonathan Swift's devotional and homiletic prose, revealing a writer often remembered for satire in the more solemn office of Anglican moral instruction. These pieces address piety, repentance, charity, and the discipline of public worship with a plainness deliberately opposed to fashionable enthusiasm and rhetorical excess. Their style is lucid, severe, and balanced: Augustan in its control, clerical in its purpose, yet unmistakably Swiftian in its suspicion of hypocrisy and cant. Swift, born in Dublin in 1667 and ordained in the Church of Ireland, spent much of his career negotiating the intertwined claims of religion, politics, and public language. As Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, he understood sermons not as ornamental performances but as instruments of civic and spiritual correction. The moral urgency found here reflects the same mind that produced Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal, though directed toward edification rather than satire. This volume is recommended to readers seeking a fuller understanding of Swift beyond his comic ferocity. It will especially reward students of eighteenth-century prose, Anglican thought, and the ethical imagination behind Swift's more famous works.
