Today I once more will be at Wake Forest University, speaking to the undergraduate and graduate students attending a summer seminar sponsored by the Institute for Humane Studies. I'll be lecturing on the phenomenon of young adult dystopian literature: "Why Worlds Gone Wrong Are Hot."
For those attendees and others who may be interested, I am posting the bibliography of primary and secondary sources used to prepare my talk. (Note: This list has been updated since my last posting. If you follow/bookmark this link, you'll always be directed to the most recent iteration of this list. Suggestions/recommendations are welcome!)
( --Fifty Years of English-Language Young Adult Dystopian Fiction, With Links )
( --Secondary Sources Relating to Young Adult Dystopias, A Select Bibliography )
"I knew that there had been times in the past -- terrible times -- when people had destroyed others in haste, in fear, and had brought about their own destruction"
— Lois Lowry, The Giver
