Desire and Empathy in Twentieth-Century Dystopian Fiction
di Thomas Horan
Editore: Springer International Publishing
EAN: 9783319889788
ISBN: 3319889788
Pagine: 224
Formato: Paperback
This book assesses key works of twentieth-century dystopian fiction, including Katharine Burdekin¿s Swastika Night, George Orwell¿s Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Margaret Atwood¿s The Handmaid¿s Tale, to demonstrate that the major authors of this genre locate empathy and morality in eroticism. Taken together, these books delineate a subset of politically conscious speculative literature, which can be understood collectively as projected political fiction. While Thomas Horan addresses problematic aspects of this subgenre, particularly sexist and racist stereotypes, he also highlights how some of these texts locate social responsibility in queer and other non-heteronormative sexual relationships. In these novels, even when the illicit relationship itself is truncated, sexual desire fosters hope and community.
