Modern Dystopian Fiction and Political Thought by Adam Stock
Stock evaluates modern dystopian fiction as a historically responsive mode of political literature. The volume addresses the development of the narrative methods and generic conventions of dystopian fiction as a mode of socio-political critique across the first half of the twentieth century.Adam Stock is a Lecturer in English Literature at York St John University, where his research is concerned with narrative and political thought. He uses interdisciplinary methods to explore how narrative and form can be mobilised to make political arguments; using this lens, his primary research interests are in Utopian Studies and Science Fiction. He also works on modernisms, particularly considering temporalities, provinciality and ruination. Some of his previous work has been funded by the AHRC (as Co-Investigator on the early career exploratory award Reconfiguring Ruins) and by the Leverhulme Trust (as Network Facilitator on the Imaginaries of the Future project). He has published articles and chapters on dystopian narratology and on writers including John Wyndham and George Orwell. He serves as Hon. Treasurer of the Utopian Studies Society (Europe).
