"Edward Bellamy (March 26, 1850 \u2013 May 22, 1898) was an American author and socialist, most famous for his utopian novel, Looking Backward, a Rip Van Winkle-like tale set in the distant future of the year 2000. Bellamy's vision of a harmonious future world inspired the formation of at least 165 \"Nationalist Clubs\" dedicated to the propagation of Bellamy's political ideas and working to make them a practical reality. One of the last issues of \"The Nationalist\" noted that 'over 500' had been formed."@en . "1898-05-22Z"^^ .
