Deluge
S. Fowler Wright · 2 novels · 1927–1929
S. Fowler Wright's Deluge imagines a sudden, catastrophic flooding of England that strands a small group of survivors and forces a rapid collapse and rebuilding of social order along much harsher lines. Dawn continues directly after, following the same characters establishing a new settlement from the wreckage. Written in the late 1920s, the duology is an early entry in the British catastrophe-fiction tradition later associated with writers like John Wyndham.
