Atlantis was never only a lost city. It became one of the West’s great civilization-legends Beginning with Plato’s Timaeus and Critias, and moving through later antiquity, Renaissance humanism, Bacon’s New Atlantis, Donnelly’s literalizing turn, nationalism, pseudoarchaeology, modern media, and digital culture, the book shows how Atlantis became one of the West’s great civilization- legends.
