It charts the rich spectrum of literary utopian projects between 1885 and 1945, and reconstructs their cultural work by locating them in the material 'spaces' in which they originated. The book brings together work by leading academics and younger scholars.This volume undertakes a fundamental reassessment of utopianism during the modernist period.

'The contributors to Rosalyn Gregory and Benjamin Kohlmann's lively collection [undertake] a broadening and loosening of the utopian... Utopian Spaces of Modernism is so stimulating a volume that one could wish for a sequel' - Patrick Parrinder, Modernism/Modernity
'Roughly half of Utopian Spaces of Modernism examines literary and cultural artifacts of the high modernist period, including some of its finest contributions by David Trotter, Jon Hegglund, and Douglas Mao. Nevertheless, Victorianists will find much to engage them here. These smart, quirky case studies do much to substantiate this volume's claim about the pervasiveness and interest of modernist minor utopianism. Nineteenth-century scholars interested in making the journey to utopia will find very good traveling companions.' - Mark Allison, Victorian Studies
