dc.description.abstractOffering a methodology for identifying particularly impactful literary narratives of climate change, this open access book examines a range of Anglophone fiction authors such as Margaret Atwood, Paolo Bacigalupi, Ian McEwan, Louise Erdrich, Octavia E. Butler and Sarah Hall, as well as films such as The Day After Tomorrow and Snowpiercer . Firstly, this book looks at which narratives, historically, have had an impact on social consciousness. Secondly, it considers the impact of popular and established strategies. Finally, it suggests emphasizing alternative narrative strategies, which it suggests can have a greater impact by causing people to act. This allows a more solid approach to assessing the effectiveness of literary narratives on global issues.
