A wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study, it emphasizes that space is a key factor in utopian fiction, often a barometer of mankind’s successful relationship with nature, or an indicator of danger. Emerging and critically acclaimed scholars consider the legacy of two great utopian writers, exploring their use of space and time in the creation of sites in which contemporary social concerns are investigated and reordered. A variety of locations is featured, including Morris’s quasi-fourteenth century London, the lush and corrupted island, a routed and massacred English countryside, the high-rises of the future and the vertiginous landscape of another Earth beyond the stars. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Science fiction; The Time Machine; The War of the Worlds; Kelmscott House; Society; British and Irish Lit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-52340-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-52340-2 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
