Abstract: Louis Marin's post-structuralist, post-Marxist claim, for example, that Utopia represents an 'ideological critique of ideology'?What would they make of the very prevalent idea since the collapse of the Berlin Wall that we are now in an era of 'the End of Utopia'?What would they make of the currently widespread claim that Utopia represents not only the first modern document of social democracy, but also the first modern English document of the discourse (and ideology) of colonialism?Not only are there no excerpts from any thinkers who might have put forward such ideas as ideology, the End of Utopia, or the discourse of colonialism; there are no citations for 'Further Reading' of any texts that allude to these ideas.In the end, this new edition is not so new at all.For above all, this is an edition that allows for the frustrated expectations of the past, but not, in any sense, however problematically, however merely optative, for hope in the future.
