Summary:

"The book offers a survey and an anthology of utopian speculation written in Spanish or in other Hispanic languages since the 16th century. It not only provides further proof that this genre has been a key intellectual tool to imagine and debate the modern world, but also dismantles the cliché that Hispanic societies have been refractory to utopia, illustrating both the fertility of utopian writing in Hispanic languages and its link with local archetypes such as Don Quixote. The reader expands the utopian canon and the very concept of utopian literature in two directions: by incorporating the rich and as yet little studied work of authors writing in Spanish, Catalan and Galician; and by bringing attention to the speculative and anticipatory content of a variety of non-fiction texts which specialists tend to overlook"-- Provided by publisher.
