Although Bellamy retrospectively claimed he did not write Looking Backward as a blueprint for political action, but rather sought to write "a literary fantasy, a fairy tale of social felicity", [7] the book inspired legions of inspired readers to establish so-called Nationalist Clubs , beginning in Boston late in By it was reported that no fewer than Nationalist Clubs were in existence.
Bellamy's use of the term "Nationalism" rather than "socialism" as a descriptor of his governmental vision was calculated, as he did not want to limit either sales of his novel or the potential influence of its political ideas. Every sensible man will admit there is a big deal in a name, especially in making first impressions.
In the radicalness of the opinions I have expressed, I may seem to out-socialize the socialists, yet the word socialist is one I never could well stomach.
In the first place it is a foreign word in itself, and equally foreign in all its suggestions. It smells to the average American of petroleum, suggests the red flag, and with all manner of sexual novelties, and an abusive tone about God and religion, which in this country we at least treat with respect. No such party can or ought to succeed that is not wholly and enthusiastically American and patriotic in spirit and suggestions".
Bellamy himself came to actively participate in the political movement which emerged around his book, particularly after when he founded his own magazine, The New Nation , and began to promote united action between the various Nationalist Clubs and the emerging People's Party. This phase of Bellamy's life came to an end in , when The New Nation was forced to suspend publication owing to financial difficulties.
With the key activists of the Nationalist Clubs largely absorbed into the apparatus of the People's Party although a Nationalist Party did run candidates for office in Wisconsin as late as [14] , Bellamy abandoned politics for a return to literature. He set to work on a sequel to Looking Backward titled Equality , attempting to deal with the ideal society of the post-revolutionary future in greater detail.
The book saw print in and would prove to be Bellamy's final creation. Edward Bellamy died of tuberculosis in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. He was 48 years old at the time of his death.
His lifelong home in Chicopee Falls, built by his father, [15] was designated a National Historic Landmark in
