TI - Two Anti-Utopian Visions – We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and Miranda by Antoni Lange: History of Idea and Reception
AB - The article attempts to present two anti-utopian novels written in the 1920s: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (1920) and Miranda by Antoni Lange (1924). The author examines origins of both texts and points out cultural, artistic and ideological aspects of their interpretation. The reception of We and Miranda is discussed as well as the current state of research on the anti-utopian oeuvre of Yevgeny Zamyatin and Antoni Lange is addressed. The author attempts to present both novels in the context of evolution of the literary genre. Moreover We by Zamyatin and Miranda by Lange are depicted as statements of historiosophical character, often embroiled in disputes with the dominating artistic and aesthetic movements.
