Tomasso Campanella, a Calabrian monk, published The City of the Sun in 1623, and Francis Bacon's The New Atlantis appeared in 1627. Campanella was a student of logic and physics; Bacon focused on politics and philosophy. Despite differences in setting and treatment, both authors employed the latest methods of scientific experimentation to restructure the social order, and both works abound in imaginative thought and expression. Campanella formulated the first scientifically based socialistic system -- one that furnished a model for subsequent ideal communities. Bacon focused on the duty of the state toward science, and his projections for state- sponsored research anticipated many advances in medicine and surgery, meteorology, and machinery. Both of these classics mirror their period's idealism and its revolutionary trends in thought. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Utopias|vEarly works to 1800. 650 7 LITERARY COLLECTIONS / European / General.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Claeys, Gregory,|ewriter of foreword. 700 12 |iContainer of (expression):|aCampanella, Tommaso,|d1568- 1639.|tCivitas Solis.|lEnglish. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aBacon, Francis,|d1561-1626.|tNew Atlantis. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tNew Atlantis and The city of the sun. |dMineola, New York : Dover Publications, Inc., 2018. |z9780486821726|w(DLC)2018012298 914 frd00024761
