Episode 5: Sebastian Mitchell, 18th Century Utopias

In this episode, we interview Dr Sebastian Mitchell, a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Birmingham. We chat with Sebastian about the origins of utopia, beginning with Sir Thomas More's text, before discussing how the utopian genre has changed and evolved over time, with particular reference to the ostensible "black hole" of the eighteenth century.
