The Worm and the Ecologist: Experiencing Planetarity with Frank Herbert’s Dune by Pierre-Louis Patoine

“…The Great God Pan, Machen’s first major success, is a dark tale that exploits late Victorian anxieties about scientific progress, especially the post-Darwinian fear/fantasy of regression to bestial levels.

Apocalypse Now? Kate Atkinson Reads Ovid’s Metamorphoses by Barbara Weiden Boyd

“…Atkinson uses the Latin poet’s interest in change and its often strange permutations as a way of interrogating contemporary concerns about consumerism, environmental degradation, and cultural forgetfulness, against a backdrop of post-apocalyptic fantasy.
