New Lanark In Search of Utopia by C A Hope

This is the third historical novel in C A Hope's deeply researched 'New Lanark Trilogy' (Book One, New Lanark Spinning New Lives, Book Two, New Lanark Living With a Visionary) based on the true story of the turbulent path which led to the birth of the Co-operative movement. Filled with enthusiasm and with new partners to support him, Robert Owen forges ahead to demonstrate how a happy, productive society can be achieved. The past is catching up with Joe Scott's family, leading to tragedies as well as joy while Fiona, Sarah and Anne Caroline brace themselves for new challenges. Britain is still embroiled in wars with France and America and Lord Liverpool's government is frantically suppressing the growing cries for revolution. Confident that his radical philosophy of mutual co-operation will provide the solution, Owen steps onto the world stage.
Supported by enlightened friends, such as Jeremy Bentham, Prince Edward the Duke of Kent, John Quincy Adams and a host of leading figures of the era, Owen takes on the Church and the Establishment.
