First edition, large paper issue. "THE REVOLT is one of two works of philosophically inclined fiction (the other being his HAMPDEN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY [2 volumes, 1834]), in which Morgan takes up the central themes of Owenite socialism, including the advantages of social equality; the desirability of living in small-scale communities; the need to balance agricultural with industrial labor among the working classes; philosophical necessitarianism; the advantages of community of property; and a more liberal attitude towards marriage. The setting is a cooperative colony of bees existing in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh." John Minter Morgan (1782-1854) "was the son of a stationer who became an early adherent to the views of Robert Owen, and remained a philanthropist devoted to 'home colonies' throughout his life. He was also the author of REMARKS ON THE PRACTICABILITY OF MR. OWEN'S PLAN (1819), another major Owenite work of fiction, HAMPDEN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY (2 volumes, 1834), and other works. The primary context for reading THE REVOLT is the works of Robert Owen, notably the REPORT TO THE COUNTY OF LANARK (1820) . [Morgan] subscribed in outline to the main tenets of Owen's system . [but] remains more circumspect in his view of Christianity than Owen, and after the collapse of the Owenite community at Queenswood in 1845 would continue to urge the need for a Christian basis for any future communitarian experiments." - Fortunati and Trousson (eds), Dictionary of Literary Utopias, pp. 533-34.
