- Double-weighted statement
- This book is a comprehensive study of mainstream British dystopian fiction and the Cold War. It offers an extended analysis of authors’ concerns about the geopolitical present and anxieties about the national future. It meets the criteria for double-weighting in that: it is a longer-form output demonstrating sustained research effort; it involved the collection and analysis of a large body of material as it draws on an extensive array of over 200 novels and collections of short stories (many out of print); and it offers a major contribution to the emerging field of British Cold War literary production.
