    • Abstract:
      This essay discusses the history of utopian socialism as a literary genre in Australia. The author investigates the role of national characteristics in the thematic character of utopian literature. The historical character of Australia as a former penal colony with significant amounts of uninhabitable land is considered as it informs the depiction of that country as a dystopia.
