    • Richard Jefferies started work on After London earlier than 1885, possibly in response to Erewhon and The Coming Race, two utopias (although they are both also ironic utopias, if not full-on negative ones) published in the early 1870s. And there is little doubt that Jefferies was not alone in feeling that modern civilisation was doomed.
