New Atlantis, The

Another classic converted by eBooksLib.com.

«Bacon's literary executor, Dr. Rowley, published «The New Atlantis» in 1627, the year after the author's death. It seems to have been written about 1623, during that period of literary activity which followed Bacon's political fall. None of Bacon's writings gives in short apace so vivid a picture of his tastes and aspirations as this fragment of the plan of an ideal commonwealth.»
