MAITLAND, Edward

MAITLAND, Edward
(1824-1897)
   UK author and Theosophist whose speculative UTOPIA By and By: An Historical Romance of the Future (3 vols 1873), set several hundred years in the future, takes an unusually optimistic view of the likely effects of technology (irrigating the Sahara), is much interested in social theory, imagines several varieties of marriage and foresees a somewhat limited emancipation of women. This didactic book is the third of a trilogy; the first 2 vols, The Pilgrim and the Shrine (1868) and The Higher Law, were originally published as by Herbert Ainslee and are notsf.
