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.

Utopias in Science Fiction Austin Tappan Wright's Islandia About the science fiction writer Austin Tappan Wright and history of his envisioned utopia written about in the novel Islandia. UTOPIAS IN SEIENCE FICTION AUSTIN TAPPAN WRIGHT He was born in New Hampshire, attended Harvard College, where he graduated in 1905, and then entered Harvard Law School. After practicing law for several years, he decided to enter teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. He was killed in an automobile accident in New Mexico at the age of 48. His Utopia: ISLANDIA (1920s) Lang finds the people gracious and openhearted, but deceptively simple in appearance; actually, Islandia's society is extremely complex, with many different nuances of honor and fellowship. Islandians distinguish, for example, between many different kinds of affection and love, including (between man and woman) friendship, sexual desire, and real love. During the course of the tale, Europeans try to manipulate the council to give them economic concessions. Islandia is rich in minerals, and the industrial powers want to exploit the land, under the guise of development. But the young king intervenes, and the proposal is voted down. Islandia will remain closed to foreign intervention. John Lang, of course, decides to remain in his newfound land and brings his sweetheart across the seas from New England. Together they find peace in the quiet beauty of an unspoiled country. Reproduced with permission from "The People's Almanac" series of books.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Islandia Austin Tappan Wright Buccaneer Books 1942 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. 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: alia , roughly love of place and lineage, ania , commitment and desire for marriage, and apia , sexual attraction.) Islandia is a gentle but haunting novel, an uplifting and captivating story whose thousand pages pass by all too rapidly. It appears to have had a small but appreciative readership for fifty years, but it deserves to be far more widely known. While it will never be as popular as Lord of the Rings , it is a classic that will be remembered and read when myriad legions of fantasy and romance novels in gaudy covers have sunk into obscurity.

11. 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://bellsouthpwp.net/j/i/jimhenry1973/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.
