Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BELLAMY, EDWARD (1850-1898) , American author and social reformer, was born at Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, on the 25th of March 185o. He studied for a time at Union College, Schenectady, New
York
 , and in Germany; was admitted to the bar in 1871; but soon engaged in newspaper
work
 , first as an associate editor of the
Springfield
  Union, Mass., and then as an editorial writer for the New
York
  Evening Post. After publishing three novelettes (Six to One, Dr Heidenhoff's Process and Miss
Ludington
 's Sister), pleasantly written and showing some inventiveness in situation, but attracting no
special
  notice, in 1888 he caught the public attention with Looking Backward, 2000-1887, in which he set forth ideas of co-operative or semi-socialistic life in
village
  or city communities. The book was widely circulated in America and Europe, and was translated into several foreign languages. It was at first judged merely as a romance, but was soon accepted as a statement of the deliberate wishes and methods of its author, who devoted the remainder of his life as editor, author, lecturer and politician, to the pro-motion of the communistic theories of Looking Backward, which he called " nationalism "; a Nationalist party (the main points of whose immediate programme, according to
Bellamy
 , were embodied in the platform of the People's party of 1892) was organized, but obtained no political hold. In 1897
Bellamy
  published Equality, a sequel to Looking Backward. He died at Chicopee Falls on the 22nd of May 1898.
