Bellamy, Edward

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Bellamy, Edward (1850–1898)

US author and social critic. His utopian novel Looking Backward: 2000–1887 (1888), was a huge best-seller and inspired wide public support for his political programme of state socialism. He published a second utopian novel, Equality (1897).

Born in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, Bellamy wrote for the New York Post and the Springfield Union. He founded the Springfield Daily News in 1880 and later the New Nation but eventually, deeply concerned with the social problems of the day, he abandoned journalism to become a full-time author.
