A broad examination of climate fantasy and science fiction from The Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series to The Handmaids Tale and Game of Thrones.Fellow Inklings J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis may have belonged to different branches of Christianity but they both made use of a faithbased environmentalist ethic to counter the midtwentiethcenturys triple threats of fascism utilitarianism and industrial capitalism. In Fire and Snow Marc DiPaolo explores how the apocalyptic fantasy tropes and Christian environmental ethics of the Middleearth and Narnia sagas have been adapted by a variety of recent writers and filmmakers of climate fiction a growing literary and cinematic genre that grapples with the realworld concerns of climate change endless wars and fascism as well as the role religion plays in easing or escalating these apocalypticlevel crises. Among the many other wellknown climate fiction narratives examined in these pages are Game of Thrones The Hunger Games The Handmaids Tale Mad Max and Doctor Who. Although the authors of these works stake out ideological territory that differs from Tolkiens and Lewiss DiPaolo argues that they nevertheless mirror their predecessors ecological concerns. The Christians Jews atheists and agnostics who penned these works agree that we all need to put aside our cultural differences and transcend our personal socioeconomic circumstances to work together to save the environment. Taken together these works of climate fiction model various ways in which a deep ecological solidarity might be achieved across a broad ideological and cultural spectrum.This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to Knowledge Unlatchedan initiative that provides libraries and institutions with a centralized platform to support OA collections and from leading publishing houses and OA initiatives.
