Dear all,
Don't you just Love Bensalem?? Hopefully we will establish one on equal footings with this Utopia!!!! Am I in denial? yes, i reckon but a little dream would not harm. After all, this utopia made us see ourselves crystal-clear!!!!

Well well,
How are y'all? I am sure you are all enjoying yourself reading this text. At any rate,
Many themes and motifs do rest under the surface of this literary piece,but I believe that all those themes can be summerized in one sentence which reads:
Bacon wants to pave the way towards re-approaching the prelapsarian state of man when he penned New Atlantis. Try to link the ideas of: instauration,Ancient wisdom, salvation, divine intervention, to name just a few.
Dont you think??
