Most cultures have some stories about golden worlds, even if they call them by different names — golden age, fortunate isle, peach blossom spring, Elysium, or Eden.
They have one thing in common apart from the dream of perfect happiness that they present: The earliest pieces we have in this programme are of this kind. It tells of an age of no wars, no illness, and no death, but the bit that I remember comes afterwards in the epic , when Rama has to sacrifice his wife to the demands of his people. There is the Chinese story of the Peach Blossom spring, first told by Tao Yuanming , which we have here in a later retelling by Wang Wei — another perfect world inhabited by people of ancient names and clothes, a secluded enclosure that one can never find again if one is foolish enough to leave it behind.
Ideal places that are not set in the depths of time tend to be either purely conceptual, or blatantly fantastical.

There is an abundance of food here as well, and peace, health, and order. In short, it has all those things we expect in an ideal world. It illuminates what is really exciting about an age when one discovery after another meant that on the one hand, suddenly an encounter with such a perfect land was entirely in the realm of the possible. On the other, such discoveries also constituted a wonderful license for the imagination, and that, after all, is what drives all utopian literature — our temptation to dream of something better, stronger, fairer, less fragile than the fallible world we occupy.

Poets and writers, as Philip Sidney argued in the sixteenth century, are best equipped to create such golden worlds, unencumbered by practical details and inconvenient truths; but they are also good at pointing out the risks and absurdities latent in all such dreams.
That, too, is a characteristic of Utopian literature. There is no such thing as unquestionable perfection. More himself led the way in dissecting the world he had created, and I am rather fond of the slightly schoolboy-ish word-games he plays with his readers to signal that questioning. So his narrator, that original traveller to Utopia, is called Raphael Hythlodaeus: Twentieth century dystopian literature is full of worlds that are perfect societies and states designed by other people, where the very things that have always fascinated Utopian writing — equality, justice, equitable distribution of wealth, privileges and emotions, the perfection of humankind — all return to haunt us.
