Bibliography of Secondary Sources
Laurent Portes; revised by Lyman Tower Sargent for the English edition of the companion volume to the exhibition Utopia: The Search for the Ideal Society in the Western World.
Given the vastness of the topic, an exhaustive bibliography on the subject of Utopia would be an immense undertaking. In the selective bibliography that follows, preference has been given to works published during the last thirty years, and to texts and collections of a general nature rather than those that address specific works or individual writers. Special issues of periodicals and conference publications devoted to this topic are listed, but their contents are not enumerated separately; therefore, this bibliography makes indirect reference to a great number of other texts. In addition, we have not systematically listed here all of the works cited in the footnotes and individual bibliographies that accompany the essays in this volume.
Works in the bibliography are listed under the following subject headings: bibliographies and anthologies, conference proceedings, general studies, chronological studies, and thematic studies; the latter two sections are broken down further into subsections. Within each section and subsection, the arrangement is alphabetical.
This compilation has benefited greatly from the bibliography, covering Utopia in all its forms, published since 1987 in Utopian Studies, under the direction of Lyman Tower Sargent and the Society for Utopian Studies. The Society's Internet site provides, in addition to a bibliography of recent, primarily North American publications, links to several other sites of bibliographical interest.
