Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / An Apology for the Life of George Anne Bellamy was chosen for this study because it is representative both of a group of eighteenth-century theatrical lives and of minor autobiography generally in the peak years of biographical writing and because it has been brought sharply to the fore as a work of intrinsic merit by a favorable appraisal in Donald A. Stauffer's Art of Biography in Eighteenth Century England (1941). The epistolary Apology, which recounts the adventures of Mrs. Bellamy through her years of success at Covent-Garden Theatre and through her decline into poverty and neglect, was published in 1785, gained immediate popularity, and appeared in four editions by 1786. Critics praised it highly, but its fame was short. It dropped into semi-obscurity and for a century and a half was considered interesting principally as a work of theatrical history. The assertion of Stauffer that the Apology is an important biography of its century has directed attention to it once more, challenging us to a re-evaluation of the work, both as theatrical history and as literary art. This paper aims to gather and relate information concerning the Apology's accomplishments in both these fields and to estimate its permanent value and significance. [Truncated]

This project examines two works of nineteenth-century utopian fiction, Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward and William Morris's News from Nowhere, and considers the way in which the organization of work in these imagined post-capitalist futures is guided by their respective philosophies of labor: while Bellamy's utopia is structured by an understanding of labor as primarily a social duty, Morris presents labor as central to the full development and happiness of the individual. These two utopias are read as representative of a fundamental tension within the writings of Marx: while Morris's understanding of labor aligns with the early works of Marx, Bellamy's vision is an expression of later attempts by Marx to distinguish between productive activity performed in the "realm of necessity" and that performed in the "realm of freedom." This project identifies in Bellamy's utopia a continued presence of alienated labor and reads this limitation as the inevitable outcome of an attempt to realize Marx's distinction between necessary and free production; Morris's ability to eradicate alienated labor in his utopia is thus only possible because he abandons this distinction and recognizes, as did the early Marx, the centrality of all forms of production to the individual's realization of her creative human essence. However, while Morris overcomes alienation, his attempt to break with the material foundations of capitalism leaves his utopia unsustainable; this project therefore looks to Bellamy's economic structures in an attempt to imagine how Morris's labor philosophy might be infused with Bellamy's structural elements to create a socialist future which would grow from the material conditions of capitalism while fully separating itself from the alienation of capitalist labor relations.
