ABSTRACT
In chapter ii we mentioned a number of famous utopian socialists who contributed to the Brook Farm and other utopian experiments in the United States prior to the Civil War—among them Horace Greeley, Albert Brisbane, Robert Dale Owen, Charles A. Dana, George Ripley. Parke Godwin, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John S. Dwight, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. These utopians preceded the modern socialist movements based on the principles of “scientific socialism.”
