This page is dedicated to the author of Islandia , Austin Tappan Wright. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me. Biography Austin Tappan Wright was born on 20 August, 1883 in Hanover, New Hampshire to John Henry Wright (Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University) and Mary Tappan Wright (a novelist). He was educated at Harvard College (1905), and Harvard Law School (1908), where he edited the Harvard Law Review and graduated cum laude . He married Margaret Garrad Stone and had four children, William Austin, Sylvia, Phyllis, Benjamin Tappan. After serving in the Boston law firm of Louis Brandeis, Wright took faculty positions at the University of California law school at Berkeley (1916-1924) and the University of Pennsylvania law school (1924-1931). He died on 18 September, 1931 in a car accident. Islandia Islandia in 1942, eleven years after Wright's death. The book sold approximately 30,000 copies. In the novel, a pre-industrial civilization confronts early twentieth century colonialism in a struggle to reconcile their happily unadorned culture with the excesses of modern technology. The protagonist, John Lang, attempts to mediate this culture clash as a United States consul - but gradually comes to appreciate Islandian life. Eventually, he brings his New England bride to the Island and rejects American culture altogether. Despite some elements of Islandia which contain a distressingly racist tinge, the novel's progressive attitude towards the state of women in Wright's time (and our own) made this novel a classic in utopian literature.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Islandia Austin Tappan Wright Buccaneer Books 1942 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee Studying at Harvard, John Lang meets and befriends Dorn, a student from the far-off country of Islandia, where he is later appointed United States consul. Islandia is struggling to decide on a political response to the imperialist powers, and Lang becomes involved in the conflict. He also becomes involved at a more personal level, and must struggle to come to terms with Islandia's differences. Wright started creating Islandia an imaginatively envisaged and richly detailed nation in his childhood, but his writings were only discovered, edited, and (partly) published after his death. Islandia is a rural, low technology society, governed by a small-scale aristocracy, where families and ties to the land are of central importance. It is a utopia in that it describes an alternative way of life, to be compared and favourably contrasted with reality (the United States in the early decades of this century), but it is not what one might expect from a "utopian novel". Politics and economics are largely peripheral to Islandia , and it is as an adventure and above all as a romance that it shines. Islandia's most intriguing differences are in the workings of personal relationships, of friendship and love, and it is Lang's relationships with women, Islandian and American, which provide the central threads of the novel. (There are three words for love in Islandian:

5. Reviews By Jim Henry: _Islandia_ By Austin Tappan Wright Islandia by austin tappan wright. First published 1942 by Rinehart Company. Paperback reprint by Signet, 1966. Overlook Press trade paperback reprint, 2002 http://www.mindspring.com/~jimhenry/review/wright.htm

Islandia by Austin Tappan Wright Paperback reprint by Signet, 1966 Overlook Press trade paperback reprint, 2002 Islandia is unusual in being one of the great displays of the world-builder's art outside fantasy and science fiction. The hero of the story is John Lang, a young American who befriends an Islandian exchange student in his freshman year at Harvard and after graduation finds himself, one of the only Americans with a speaking knowledge of the Islandian language, appointed consul to Islandia. Though excellence of world-building is not the novel's only good quality, it's the main attraction, and unless you enjoy reading a story for the sake of its setting, you should spend your time elsewhere. A rule of thumb: if you skipped the appendices in The Lord of the Rings , you should probably skip Islandia. If you read them and still wanted to know more about the history and culture of Middle-Earth, you might well enjoy Islandia. Islandia is a country on the coast of the Karain semicontinent in the southern hemisphere. One could compare it to Japan in the age of its civilization, its level of technology when discovered by Europeans, and to some extent in its political relations with Europe and America. However, its culture and political organization don't resemble that of Japan particularly. It seems superficially like feudal Europe, but with a much less deep or steep hierarchy separating the 'peasants' from the 'nobility'. There is only one City and one University, which thus need no names to distinguish them from others. Most significantly, no Islandian considers either of them his permanent home; one may spend his working career in the City or University, but always can return to his family's farm.

16. Review Of A. T. Wright's "Islandia" Subject Review of A. T. wright's "Islandia" This is a classic utopian novel, essential for all fans A wright, austin tappan %T Islandia %I New American Library / Signet %C http://members.aol.com/dmchess/www/islandia.html

Subject: Review of A. T. Wright's "Islandia" This is a classic utopian novel, essential for all fans of the genre; they can stop reading now and go out and get it. My more wired readers, on the other hand, should be warned that this is a long novel, written back when people had more time, because they were not always out shopping for good deals on cellular modems. If you get impatient when a Web page is more than three screens long, this book may not be for you; there are almost a thousand pages here, and they are by no means action-packed. I read it over the course of a year or two. "Islandia" is a utopian novel, and Islandia is a utopia. It is an island set somewhere in some unnamed ocean, and its (mysteriously European-looking) inhabitants have been cut off from world culture, except for the occasional missionary, for centuries. Now the emerging global economy (to export a modern term backwards in time) has noticed it, and noticed its rich natural resources, and wants to open it to trade. The Islandian culture is at a decision point: will isolationism prevail, or will it open itself to outside influence? But this is not a political novel, not really. The author makes no attempt to show us how Islandia's politics and law and government really work, and it's reasonably clear that they in fact would not. It's an agricultural society, without industry, but they apparently have a reasonably modern navy, little disease (who makes their medicines?), and so on. The government is small and libertarian-looking in structure, and we never see a policeman, but the laws prohibiting import of foreign technology or persons are apparently completely effective. The population is kept small enough for Utopiahood by what seems to be unspoken cultural agreement. And so on.
