New Atlantis is an incomplete utopian novel written by Sir Francis Bacon, a late renaissance writer, scholar, and statesman. It was published in 1627. The book is based upon the allegorical Atlantis in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias. New Atlantis is one of many books inspired by Plato's Atlantis story, including Utopia by Thomas More, who coined the word utopia. New Atlantis is representative of the ideas of utopia that were under discussion throughout Europe during the Renaissance. This discussion was fueled by the revival of Ancient Greek and Roman traditions of desiring to create the perfect society.
