It is Anno Domini 1968. Over a hundred years earlier, in 1588, Queen Elizabeth was assassinated. The Spanish Armada’s decisive victory brought most of Europe under the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran rebels in the low countries crushed underfoot. The heavy hand of the church rests over Angle Land, and while its power lies secure in Londinium there is unrest brewing in the countryside—brigands roaming the moors, threat of rebels and heretics, superstitious rumors of faeries and the old gods rising within the uneducated peasants. Technology has stagnated, with discoveries like electric power outlawed by the Church, leaving the book effectively proto-steampunk. Roberts’ novel consists of six measures, each a distinct story-fragment; together they describe and illuminate the world, focusing on themes of loss, religion, government, and power.On top of six loosely linked but interwoven narratives is a coda, acting as capstone to the “novel.” If we can call it that—Pavane works more as a kaleidoscopic vision of a dark, regressive alternate future. As the twentieth-century progresses, the Church maintains a firm grip on Western society, limiting technological and scientific development. Instead of a global international power, England (“Angle Land”) becomes the same type of far-flung backwater as in Roman times, a land under serfdom that sparks little Papal interest compared to China or the New World. Roberts never reveals all of this world’s secrets and does not go overboard explaining the complexities or full history, leaving the reader to savor every morsel and ponder its significance. Even the elements of religion and superstition have an air of mystery about them—several events are implied to be fantastical/metaphysical, but may be simply unexplained everyday phenomenon.Pavane takes its name from the processional dance from Renaissance-era Europe, and much like that dance the novel is complex, obscure, and stately, a slow but calculated read with a dark and mysterious undertone. The writing is plain astounding, and Roberts’ knack for lyrical storytelling is on full display; the characters and setting spring to life from his pages, remaining plausible despite the many differences in this world’s alternate twentieth century. It remains a classic of science fiction, though an obscure one due to its cerebral material and the fact Roberts never reached the same success as other authors from the same period. On the bright side, it has continually been reprinted and is very easy to find. If you are a SF reader who enjoys the more cerebral, thought- provoking type of SF that came out in the 1970s, I’d recommend that you do find it. Read it, grasp at its brilliance, and be ready to come back again to revisit and ponder the deeper meaning.

  • The Year 1930 (254) Summary: on January 30, Jack Likely Experienced His Unbuckling on Top of a Bus Going up Headington Hill As W
    The Year 1930 (254) Summary: On January 30, Jack likely experienced his unbuckling on top of a bus going up Headington Hill as well as the “zoo of lusts” insight. On February 3, Jack wrote his famous monastery letter to Owen Barfield in which he wrote about the “Spirit” becoming more personal. On February 25, Warren sailed from Shanghai on the freighter Tai-Yin, and on April 16 his ship landed in Liverpool. On May 25, Warren accepted Jack and Mrs. Moore’s invitation to make his home with them. On June 3, Warren left Little Lea for the last time. During the first six days of June, Jack became a theist. Warren returned to Bulford on May 15. On July 16, the offer of Warren, Jack, and Mrs. Moore to purchase the Kilns was accepted. On October 10-11, Warren helped Jack, Mrs. Moore, and Maureen move from Hillsboro to the Kilns. On October 12, Jack and Warren walked past Holy Trinity and agreed that this must be their church. In December, Warren began the work of editing The Lewis Papers while on leave. Jack writes his De Bono et Malo1 this year. Jack probably also writes his De Toto et Parte2 to Barfield this year. Jack probably writes the poem “Leaving For Ever the Home of One’s Youth,” since his father died on Sept. 25, 1929. Jack writes several undated letters to Barfield this year (see Collected Letters, III, 1519-1521). Don King dates the poem “You, Beneath Scraping Branches” to this year.3 King dates the poem “When the Year Dies in Preparation for the Birth,” elsewhere known as “Launcelot,” to one of the years between 1930 and 1933.4 Martin Lings writes a masque, which is performed in Oxford and sends a letter to Jack; Jack responds to that letter and masque in complimentary fashion.5 January 1930 January 1 Wednesday.

Religious Repression and ReformBy DrPatThe title is a brilliant reflection of the diversion-point from reality for this alternate-history novel (see footnote 2). This is the twentieth century of a world in which Queen Elizabethmdash;Good Queen Bess, the daughter of Harry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleynmdash;was assassinated before her reign could fairly begin. With the English Queen dead, Catholic Phillip brought his armada from Spain to conquer England in the wake of the chaos that followed. The Anglican church was thus suppressed; the Catholic Church is a major political power in the world, and industry is organized to serve the purposes of evangelism first.The story is told from the point-of-view of several characters, one for each "measure," whose lives converge. Each of the measures can be read as a stand-alone story, but together they form a serious examination of the consequences of religious-ruled society in which internal combustion engines were until very recently banned as the work of the Devil, electricity is still under the Papal ban, and everyone tithes to the Vatican on pain of death.Jesse Strange would be an industrialist in real, Protestant England; in this alternate Catholic land, his haulage engines are strange locomotive/truck hybrids, and the non-Church focus of his business puts him on the fringe of society.
