A Fragment
London, John Murray, 1817.

Fourth edition. 8vo. Contemporary half calf.

An early and curious work of speculative fiction in which Thomas Erskine, former Lord Chancellor, imagines a hidden counterpart to the known world. Following a violent storm and shipwreck in the far southern seas, the narrator is cast upon the island of Armata, part of a parallel planet whose geography and civilisation mirror, yet subtly distort, those of Britain. Through this imagined society, Erskine constructs a utopian thought-experiment, using displacement and planetary doubling to explore questions of political order, social justice, war, and economic excess in the aftermath of the Napoleonic era. Part travel romance, part philosophical allegory, Armata stands as an early example of British proto-science-fiction, anticipating later nineteenth-century speculative and utopian narratives.
