Keith Roberts

tabauth1.gif (1202 bytes)

The doyen of alternative histories, Roberts paints a glorious picture of civilisations where history has diverted from our own. Present days where steam is the most advanced form of power, or huge manned kites are a major feature of a feudalistic society are richly portrayed. Try Pavane, Kite World or Molly Zero. A wonderful writer.

Molly Zero. Visit bookstore
An evocative story of a totalitarian future. An innocent, searching for the truth, Molly finds the world outside the Blocks where she has been brought up alien and frightening. Initially seeming to portray a bleak world, the book has some neat twists as it examines the meaning of freedom.

Pavane. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
It's a classic, dating back to 1966, but it has matured with age rather than going off. Roberts is the doyenne of alternative histories. In the case of Pavane, the event is the Reformation - in Roberts' world England remained a Catholic country, and the world is in the grip of a strongly controlling Catholic church, which has not allowed the development of technology beyond steam power.Good rounded characters, an excellent storyline, great ideas and it's written well.  Updated 10 January 2003
