TY - ABST T1 - Swastika Night Y1 - 1937 A1 - [Katharine Penelope Cade] [Burdekin] (1896-1963) KW - English author KW - Female author AB -

Dystopia where there has been five hundred years of Nazi rule, and the Nazi creed has become transmuted into a religion which directly supports the current power structure of the future Germany. There is still a single Führer who rules with the blessing of Hitler and God the Thunderer over a clearly defined hierarchy that is nationalist, racist, sexist, with love only between men and women kept separate and only for breeding, and anti-Christian. Much of the book is about one of the German Knights who knows the truth of the past and works to preserve that knowledge the future. Female author.

Complex satire on contemporary Britain from the point of view of a future human visiting in a dream. The future is a eutopia in which the people appear to be hermaphrodites, and there are no national governments and no class structure. Calls contemporary people sub-human.
