Julius Vogel takes his place in literary history on the strength of one novel, written very late in life and with no previous experience in imaginative fiction. Yet Anno Domini 2000; or, Woman’s Destiny (1889) has a secure standing as a point of reference in histories of literary utopias, the women’s movement, and imperialism, especially but not only in New Zealand. Its curious status as a utopian classic that everyone knew about but few had read was somewhat modified by a new ‘commemorative’ edition in the actual year AD 2000, and its subsequent first American publication.
