The Reader and "Looking Backward."
Khanna, Lee Cullen
Journal of General Education, v33 n1 p69-79 Spr 1981
Examines "Looking Backward's" attraction, seen as derived from the literary elements of surprise, suspense, metaphorical contrasts, analogy, and the discovery of identity by the characters and the reader. Highlights the dream device leaving the reader to ponder the dual identity of art and life and the reality of utopia. (Editor/DMM)
