- W2499858049 abstract "Anglican Bishop Joseph Hall (1574–1656) penned an early seventeenth-century dystopian satire, Mundus Alter et Idem (A New World, and Yet the Same), depicting the travels of Mercurius Britannicus, who journeys to the fictive lands of Crapulia, Viraginia, Moronia, and Lavernia, which in turn serve as thinly veiled sites for Hall’s satirical invective directed at his contemporary England. Hall’s union of environmental commentary with geosatirical textual presentation places the Mundus at an important moment in English literary history, and Hall’s conscious denial of his own authorship of the text demonstrates precisely how dangerous this work was. His text also holds the unique position of being the first utopian/dystopian text to appear during the reign of James I. Having succeeded the sailor-friendly Elizabeth I, James I faced the difficult task of maintaining the naval superiority that resulted from the English defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Hall did not think James capable of this. Hall’s Mundus resembles what Michel Foucault’s calls a “heterotopia,” which represents a “space that is other, another real space, as perfect, as meticulous, as well arranged as ours is messy, ill constructed, and jumbled.”1 Hall’s fictive travelogue to the “upside down” part of the world inverts this utopian construction, as the Mundus presents a dystopic exaggeration of the messy, ill constructed, and jumbled world that Hall loathed." @default.
