To date, however, the radical social, cultural, and political ramifications of Le Guin's multiple award-winning novel remain woefully under explored. Editors Laurence Davis and Peter Stillman right this state of affairs in the first ever collection of original essays devoted to Le Guin's novel. Among the topics covered in this wide-ranging, international and interdisciplinary collection are the anarchist, ecological, post-consumerist, temporal, revolutionary, and open-ended utopian politics of \u003ci\u003eThe Dispossessed\u003c\/i\u003e. The book concludes with an essay by Le Guin written specially for this volume, in which she reassesses the novel in light of the development of her own thinking over the past 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaurence Davis\u003c\/b\u003e holds a doctoral degree in politics from Oxford University, and has taught political theory at Oxford University and University College Dublin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Stillman\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Environmental Studies Program at Vassar College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 8.92 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836293767365,"sku":"9780739110867","price":117.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/j1wWFt-Get9780739110867.webp?v=1781278447","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-new-utopian-politics-of-ursula-k-le-guins-the-dispossessed-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
