New Atlantis was originally published in 1627, the year after the author's death by his literary executor, speculation is that Bacon wrote his story in 1623 or 1624. In this work, Bacon portrayed a vision of the future of human discovery and knowledge, expressing his aspirations and ideals for humankind. The novel depicts the creation of a utopian land where "generosity and enlightenment, dignity and splendour, piety and public spirit" are the commonly held qualities of the inhabitants. Unlike many of his other major works, Bacon wrote "The New Atlantis" in English and then had it translated into Latin, an indication that he intended it for a wider, English-speaking audience. NAE is publishing this volume in the original English version in accordance with this intention.
