Abstract

utopian fiction, a genre originated by Sir Thomas More in 1516, attempts to expound political theory under the guise of fiction. The narration of these works is essential to the communication of political ideas, as the integrity of the political information conveyed hinges on the actual characterization of the narrator. If the readers' chief communicant is unreliable, then the particular utopia's viability as political theory suffers. While a trustworthy liaison between the utopia and the reader might be useful, an imperfect narrator may actually better serve the reader.
