The Lost World of Socialists at Europe’s Margins: Imagining Utopia, 1870s–1920s

Description

With a focus on Bulgaria, Maria Todorova’s book examines the promise for an alternative socialist utopia from 1870 to the 1920s. The Lost World of Socialists at Europe’s Margins innovatively moves beyond the traditional historiographical emphasis on ideology by looking at different intersections or entanglements of spaces, generations, genders, ideas and feelings, and different flows of historical time.
