THE IDLER

Issue 45: Utopia

Idler 45 is a sumptuously produced collection of essays loosely themed around the idea of utopia. It includes republished excerpts from Thomas More’s Utopia and William Morris’s News From Nowhere as well as essays by Bill Drummond, Penny Rimbaud and Ian Bone. More to the point (it being in this list of contributions) it contains an extensive written and photographic essay on a year living in the Utopian community of Arden, Delaware, USA by Boff Whalley and Casey Orr.

Issue 44: Back To The Land

An essay on the preservation of a historic (and historically-neglected) triangle of land in Armley, Leeds.

Both are available from The Idler.
