New York: Akashic Books, 2013. First edition - Award-winning historical novel set in 1845 Trinidad. "In 1845 London, an engineer, philosopher, philanthropist, and bold-faced charlatan, John Adolphus Etzler, has invented machines that he thinks will transform the division of labor and free all men. He forms a collective called the Tropical Emigration Society (TES), and recruits a variety of London citizens to take his machines and his misguided ideas to form a proto-socialist, utopian community in the British colony of Trinidad." Edwidge Danticat called this "a marvel of narrative and documents, which collide to create a book that is at times breathtaking and tragic and at other times laugh-out-loud hilarious." Winner of the 2014 OCM Bocas Prize. 327 pp plus final message.

New York: The Feminist Press, (1989). First edition - Written in 1935, as Hitler and Mussolini were rising to power, this anti-fascist novel was not published until this edition - Set 4000 years in the future, it focuses on "the desire of a woman to teach her son about the past. Risking both their lives, she tells the story of the rise of fascism and the subsequent world transformation as life-loving women took over from death-loving men."

London: Boriswood, 1934. Hardcover first edition - Uncommon first edition of this important feminist work of speculative fiction, in which a Genuine Person is hurtled back from thousands of years in the future into the troubled world of England in the 30s. Although favorably reviewed at the time (Edwin Muir called the first chapter of this novel, a 'brilliant piece of work'), Burdekin's works (which were published under the pseudonym of Murray Constantine) were almost forgotten until the Feminist Press began to re-issue them in the United States.

Chicago & New York Follet Publishing Company. 1970. dj. Hardcover first edition - Young adult novel set in the utopian community of Icaria in Iowa in 1875 in the years before the 'wings of Etienne Cabot's dream began to melt' as the younger members resisted the socialism of the community. Illustrated with woodcuts by Stefan Martin. ISBN: 0-695-40069X.

Northhampton, MA: Valley View Publishing Co., 1906. Hardcover first edition - Dedicated to Edward Bellamy, this is somewhat of a sequel to his "Looking Backward" (the "1912" in the title is based on 25 years after Looking Backward was published). While written as a novel, the story only very thinly overlays the discussion of how cheap and clean electricity (mostly from hydropower) can transform the world. Includes an interesting chapter on rebuilding San Francisco after the earthquake. However, despite the fact that this is only set a few years into the future, it was far too optimistic - more than 100 years later, we are still dependent on dirty fossil fuels. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 5 glossy plates by W. L. Greene. 320 pp.
