This chapter aims to offer a better understanding of the complexities of turn of the twentieth century utopias by analyzing some key dimensions of two utopian literary novels: William Morris’s “News from Nowhere or an epoch of rest: being some chapters from a Utopian Romance” first published in 1890 and Edward Austin Johnson’s “Light Ahead for the Negro” (1904). Written in approximately the same period, they both describe utopian societies 100 years in the future. Despite the different political and ideological orientations of their authors, both utopist visions deal with the same social issue that troubled both writers: inequality. Using textual analysis to examine and interpret utopian spaces related to education, work—production, politics and art—culture, it is shown here how spaces that become free from past connotations related to inequality may contribute to an effective portrayal of a more equal society.
