IMAGINATIVE LITERATURE AND SOCIAL CHANGE For a general list and discussion of some contemporary imaginative works about social concerns and social change, see Kathryn Hume's American Dream, American Nightmare: Fiction Since 1960. Below are a few works that I’ve personally found to be striking and focused on social change: Antigone - Sophocles Lysistrata - Aristophanes  [Lysistrata Project] The Praise of Folly - Erasmus Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift "A Modest Proposal" - Jonathan Swift "The War Prayer" - Mark Twain The Iron Heel - Jack London The Dispossessed - Ursula LeGuin Ecotopia - Ernest Callenbach Parable of the Sower - Octavia Butler "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" - Ursula LeGuin "The School" - Donald Barthelme "Please Attack Appalachia" - Mike Bryan "The Complaint of Peace" - Erasmus
