I'm writing an essay on dystopian literature and the "what and why" of it. I've currently read the 3 generic classics 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World.
I have a pretty good understanding of them but i'm trying sort through the monolith of essays and BS written on then to find some good cite-able essays anyone know any? On the dystopian Genre or any of these specifically

The further reading has more shit in it, but there are three essays there that should be fine.

Mark Hillegas, The Future as Nightmare: H. G. Wells and the Anti-Utopians
(New York: Oxford University Press, 1967
Chad Walsh, From Utopia to Nightmare (London: Geoffrey Bles, 1962 ).
Lyman Tower Sargent, ‘Three Faces of Utopianism Revisited’, Utopian Studies
5:1 ( 1994 )
Thomas Molnar, Utopia: The Perennial Heresy (New York: Sheed & Ward,
1967
All seem relevant as well.

Aren't 1984, F-451 and BNW a little trite for any real analysis? If you're looking for something short and sweet try 'Far Away' by Churchill
