title = "Dystopia and Class: The Strange Case of Dystopian Fiction ",
abstract = "The genealogy of dystopian fiction is a deep one but there is a moment when such fiction takes its recognizably modern shape as the story of a future worse than the present. With one foot in the commercially successful fiction of popular speculation, and the other in specifically “literary” warnings about the withering of “civilized” sensibility, the dystopia begins its twentieth-century life as a Janus-faced sub-genre of the novel. This essay will historicize the articulation of class antagonisms in the type of dystopia scholars term the “classical dystopia.”",
