Synopsis

New Atlantis is an incomplete utopian novel by Sir Francis Bacon, published in 1627. In this work, Bacon portrayed a vision of the future of human discovery and knowledge, expressing his aspirations and ideals for humankind. The novel depicts the creation of a utopian land where generosity and enlightenment, dignity and splendour, piety and public spirit are the commonly held qualities of the inhabitants of the mythical Bensalem. The plan and organisation of his ideal college, Salomons House (or Solomons House), envisioned the modern research university in both applied and pure sciences.
