1898 I
The golden hands of the parlor clock point glimmeringly to an hour after midnight, and the house is still. The gas is turned almost out, but the flickering of the dying sea-coal fire in the grate fitfully illumines the forms and faces of two young women, who are seated before it, talking earnestly in low tones. It is apparent from their costumes that they have been spending the evening out.

Autorenporträt
American novelist, writer, and political activist Edward Bellamy (March 26, 1850 - May 22, 1898) is best known for his utopian novel Looking Backward. A large number of "Nationalist Clubs" were established as a result of Bellamy's optimistic outlook on a peaceful future. One of the 19th century's greatest financially successful works was his utopian masterpiece Looking Backward. Early in the 1890s, Bellamy founded a publication called The New Nation and started to promote joint action between the numerous Nationalist Clubs and the budding Populist Party. Edward Bellamy was born in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Bellamy studied for two semesters at Union College of Schenectady, New York. He briefly studied law but abandoned that field without ever practicing as a lawyer. Bellamy married Emma Augusta Sanderson in 1882 and had two children. At the age of 25, Bellamy developed tuberculosis, the disease that would ultimately kill him. He passed away when he was 48 years old. In 1971, his Massachusetts house of all time was named a National Historic Landmark. He has a street Bellamy Road in Toronto named after him.
