Description
First published in 1987, Vincent Geoghegan's work sees utopiansim as both valuable and widespread, issuing forth in a host of forms, from the classical utopia and political ideology to fashion and architecture. In an original and surprising argument he shows that Marxism has been unable to do without a utopian dimension, but for various reasons - and with baleful consequences - it has often resisted acknowledging this fact. Clear and graceful in style, the book provides a jargon-free account of the evolution if modern Marxism.
