DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Apocalypse in Crisis discusses fictions from the 1940s to the present, examining shifts in the imagination of apocalypse from postwar disaster novels, through novels of the countercultural sixties, feminist interventions, and recent revisions and critiques. As empire fades, ideas of sexuality shift and attitudes to nature change, so apocalyptic fictions change. Apocalypse, here, is imagined not as an event but as a condition.
