Literary Factsheet

 

 Ray Bradbury has experienced most of the 20th century. If one attempts to understand which events influenced his writing a headache is all that will result. His first book (Dark Carnival) was published after the conclusion of WWII, so he was probably influenced by the social resentment towards armed conflict and rabid patriatism of the time. But the social and economic issues of the 60s no doubt led to his anti establishment and alienated tone of his writing in that period (gentle martians of The Martian Chronicles and the "evil society" of 451 Farenheit).
