Description
What kinds of futures did nineteenth-century Australian writers imagine? From stories looking forward to better, utopian societies, to those warning against dark, dystopian turns, this body of literature engages with a broad range of contemporary Australian issues. Zachary Kendal, a librarian in Rare Books at Monash University, explores the diversity, and strangeness, of these speculative fictions.
