Description
Explore the evolution of end-of-the-world narratives in Apocalypse in Crisis. This academic study from Liverpool University Press examines fictional depictions of catastrophe from the 1940s to the present day. The text traces how apocalyptic visions have shifted from postwar British disaster novels and countercultural sixties stories to feminist interventions and recent critiques. As societal structures change, so do the stories we tell about the end. This volume analyzes how fading empires, changing views on sexuality, and new attitudes toward nature and urban environments shape the imagination of disaster. Readers will find a deep analysis of how the individual subject is treated within these stories - whether they are asserted, transcended, or abandoned. This work is an essential resource for those studying the history and criticism of science fiction through the lens of societal change.
