Utopias and Dystopias: Reading List

I thought you guys might find this interesting. It seems whenever I post a Facebook note nowadays I'm compelled to copy it here, but nonetheless:


TOPI.LAN.09.2.B
Extended Reading List

This is a list of the books from which excerpts were taken and distributed to the “B” section of the Utopias and Dystopias course at CTY Lancaster, second session, 2009, by instructor Adam Rzepka. The books are sorted by the date on which they were presented in class; books presented on the same day are grouped thematically. After each listing appears the ISBN-13 number and price of a recent or established printing.

Alice in Wonderland was a required text and so is not included here; we also purchased The Utopia Reader and The Dictionary of Imaginary Places. Articles such as Heather Booth's “Toward a Radical Movement” (1968) are left out because they were distributed to us in their entirety.
