"Erewhons" is a term that does not exist in standard dictionary references as it is actually an invented term by the author Samuel Butler. However, it has gained recognition as a fictional place in literature due to Butler's satirical novel titled "Erewhon" published in 1872.
In the novel, the term "Erewhon" is introduced as a fictional country located in an unidentifiable region. It is a satirical portrayal of an imaginary society that functions in a reverse or inverted manner compared to traditional society. The word "Erewhon" itself is a phonetic reversal of the word "nowhere," emphasizing the idea that this place is an embodiment of utopian ideas, where everything is opposite or counter to the norms and conventions of the time.
Within Erewhon, various aspects of conventional society are satirically critiqued, including religion, justice, and technology. The novel explores social taboos, questioning the rigidness of societal norms, and challenges the notions of morality. Through his invented term, Butler intends to invite readers to introspect on their society and reflect on the consequences of their own beliefs and behaviors.
The term "Erewhons" has thus come to represent a literary reference to an imagined place that serves as a satirical lens through which one can critically examine and comment upon the realities of the world we live in.
