Description
Pavane is a thought-provoking novel that presents a chilling vision of an alternate history where the Roman Catholic Church has maintained control over the western world since the assassination of Queen Elizabeth in 1588. The Protestant Reformation never occurred, and the Inquisition thrives, limiting knowledge and suppressing technological advancements.
Set in a dark age, the story consists of six linked short stories and a coda, exploring a world where the Catholic Church wields absolute power and the boundaries of knowledge are strictly controlled. This masterful work by Keith Roberts is a gripping and unsettling portrayal of a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly alien.
