The title of Dr Mellor’s paper is ‘John Wyndham and the Militarised Imagination’. It will consider some of the major works of John Wyndham – The Day
of the Triffids (1951), The Kraken Wakes (1953), The Midwich Cuckoos (1957) – as part of a wider reading of what can plausibly be called the militarised imagination in British culture.
This colloquium takes place at the University of St Andrews on Saturday 7 June.
