Abstract
With the publication of A New View of Society(1813, 1814, 1815, 1816), New Lanark achieved international fame, which convinced Robert Owen that he was equipped to apply the New Lanark model to harness the complete regeneration of mankind. Between 1813 and 1820, New Lanark’s status as a model factory village thus underwent a significant shift. The factory village remained Owen’s prime testing-ground, but it also increasingly served as a direct source of inspiration for the advent of an alternative, communitarian social system. Direct continuities between New Lanark’s institutional makeup and later Owenite community projects are uncovered in this chapter ranging from educational provision to co-operative economic arrangements and collegial governance.
