    The literary lineage of postapocalyptic fiction - stories set after civilization's destruction - is a long one, spanning the biblical tale of Noah and Hesiod's 'Works and Days' to the works of Mary Shelley, Octavia Butler, Cormac McCarthy, and many others. Traveling from antiquity to the present, 'Flowers of Time' reveals how postapocalyptic fiction differs from other genres - pastoral poetry, science fiction, and the maroon narrative - that also explore human capabilities beyond the constraints of civilization.
