- This monograph is the result of sustained research effort. The monograph provides in-depth explorations of a large body of material – more than twenty novels – and investigates twenty first-century post-apocalyptic fiction from different perspectives, combining literary analysis, intellectual history, and critical theory. The monograph also draws on archival research carried out at the Harry Ransom Center. While the book’s focus is contemporary literature, the study’s far-reaching intervention traces an intellectual history of how the apocalyptic understanding of time has shaped Western modernity, and develops a new theoretical framework that is applicable to the contemporary apocalyptic imagination beyond fiction.
