WHEN I first held this book, it gave me both a surprise and a shock. The shock was that I learned that the author, Douwe Fokkema, had died in 2011, just after finishing this book on Utopia. His visit to the Foreign Language Department of National Sun Yat-sen University, some 12 or 13 years ago, was the last contact I had had with him. Much earlier I had known him as a teacher and, many years after that, as my departmental chairman at the University of Utrecht. The surprise was that a scholar I had known as a proponent of empirical Literaturwissenschaft had written a book about a topic that seems so far removed from possibilities of empirical testing and from his earlier scholarly concerns--and so unexpectedly close to my own. |
