Summary/Abstract: The article describes the functioning of “justice to come” in the English early modern culture in the light of Francis Bacon’s essay “Of Revenge” and the analysis of Act I of William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. It demonstrates that reflection on the utopia of justice is not limited to one literary genre only, but permeates other texts created in the era when the questions about perfect state and ideal ruler were especially pertinent.
