See also:BELLAMY, See also:EDWARD (1850-1898) , See also:American author and social reformer, was See also:born at See also:Chicopee Falls, See also:Massachusetts, on the 25th of See also:March 185o. He studied for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time at See also:Union See also:College, See also:Schenectady, New See also:York, and in See also:Germany; was admitted to the See also:bar in 1871; but soon engaged in newspaper See also:work, first as an See also:associate editor of the See also:Springfield Union, See also:Mass., and then as an editorial writer for the New York Evening See also:Post. After See also:publishing three novelettes (Six to One, Dr Heidenhoff's See also:Process and See also:Miss See also:Ludington's See also:Sister), pleasantly written and showing some inventiveness in situation, but attracting no See also:special See also:notice, in 1888 he caught the public See also:attention with Looking Backward, 2000-1887, in which he set forth ideas of co-operative or semi-socialistic See also:life in See also:village or See also:city communities. The See also:book was widely circulated in See also:America and See also:Europe, and was translated into several See also:foreign See also:languages. It was at first judged merely as a See also:romance, but was soon accepted as a statement of the deliberate wishes and methods of its author, who devoted the See also:remainder of his life as editor, author, lecturer and politician, to the See also:pro-See also:motion of the communistic theories of Looking Backward, which he called " nationalism "; a Nationalist party (the See also:main points of whose immediate See also:programme, according to Bellamy, were embodied in the See also:platform of the See also:People's party of 1892) was organized, but obtained no See also:political hold. In 1897 Bellamy published Equality, a sequel to Looking Backward. He died at Chicopee Falls on the 22nd of May 1898.
