Sir Francis Bacon's 'The New Atlantis' is an Early Modern Utopian novel that explores an idealised view of what human progress can achieve. The novel centres around the Utopian Island of 'Bensalem' and its inhabitants, who embody Bacon's dreams for humanity through their kind-hearted, enlightened, and communal spirit. Throughout this work, Bacon demonstrates the importance of religious freedom in Christian society, as well as the integration of science and 'The Baconian Method' into education. 'Salomon's House' represents the apex of Bacon's vision, a modern research university that focuses on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. 'The New Atlantis' was published posthumously in 1628, never completed. Despite this, it still offers a rich vision of what 'The Father of Empiricism' believed humanity could become. 'The New Atlantis' remains one of the most important works of Utopic Fiction, alongside Sir Thomas More's 'Utopia'.
