Description

Doomsdays and worlds without people or with dramatically transformed populations create an arsenal of motifs in early dystopian novels that develops as a complement to the narrative of progress. Numerous dystopian novels are written between the world wars that negotiate nothing less than history itself. The contributions in this volume concentrate on this phase and, alongside German examples, also deal with works written in other languages.
