This book presents an extended account of the language of dystopia,
exploring the creativity and style of dystopian narratives and
mapping the development of the genre from its early origins through
to contemporary practice. Drawing upon stylistic, cognitive-poetic
and narratological approaches, the work proposes a stylistic
profile of dystopia, arguing for a reader-led discussion of genre
that takes into account reader subjectivity and personal
conceptualisations of prototypicality. In examining and identifying
those aspects of language that characterise dystopian narratives
and the experience of reading dystopian fictions, the work
discusses in particular the manipulation and construction of
dystopian languages, the conceptualisation of dystopian worlds, the
reading of dystopian minds, the projection of dystopian ethics, the
unreliability of dystopian refraction, and the evolution and
hybridity of the dystopian genre.
