Keith Roberts's "Pavane" is a masterful work of alternate history science fiction that reimagines a world where the Spanish Armada triumphed, leading to a technologically suppressed, theocratic England. The novel presents a series of interconnected novellas, each illustrating the lives of individuals navigating this oppressive society, often through the lens of a powerful, controlling Catholic Church. It chronicles the struggles of those who dare to innovate or question the established order, highlighting themes of technological advancement versus religious dogma and the enduring human spirit. This compelling narrative offers a thought-provoking examination of how a single historical event can drastically alter the course of civilization.
