In the first decade of the twentieth century, a few closely related families established a utopian community in Canada s smallest province. Known officially as B. Compton Limited but described by a journalist in 1935 as "Prince Edward Island s unique brotherly love community," this utopia owed its longevity to the cohesion provided by its communal organization, dense kin ties, and long-held millenarianism and to a decidedly pragmatic approach to business._x000D_ IAll Things in CommonI demonstrates how "un-utopian" such a community could be while problematizing the contention that the inevitable end of all utopian experiments is a full-blown dystopia. Beginning with a compelling backstory and locating the Compton community in the historiography of North American utopias, the author goes on to explore the community s business endeavours, its religious, familial, and transgressive aspects, and its brief period of international fame before assessing the factors that led to its dissolution in 1947. Providing a strong narrative framework, IAll Things in CommonI draws on rich family and archival records and diverse secondary sources, concluding with a consideration of the community s legacy for its alumni and their descendants.
