Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later (1901) is a dystopian novel by Samuel Butler (1835-1902), a sequel to his famous satire Erewhon: Beyond the Mountains. Butler not only continues to mock the sacred cows of Victorian society—the established church and positivist science, the hypocrisy of the educated class, the cynicism of the authorities, and the superstitions of the mob—but within the framework of an adventure plot, he delivers a comprehensive satire on the mechanism of the emergence, spread, and legitimization of any religious cult. "A far more wicked book than Erewhon," the author wrote to George Bernard Shaw, asking for help finding a publisher.
