Synopsis
When a worldwide plague kills off most of England’s male population, the highly conventional Mr. Gosling and his daughters begin to fulfill long-thwarted tendencies and desires.” Gosling abandons his family for a life of lechery, leaving his daughters who have never been permitted to learn self-reliance to loot abandoned shops. Eventually, the Gosling girls find a place in a female-dominated agricultural commune but their new life is threatened by their elders’ prejudices about free love!

Review
"At once a postapocalyptic adventure, a comedy of manners, and a tract on sexual and social equality,Goslings is by turns funny, horrifying, and politically stirring. Most remarkable of all may be that it has not yet been recognized as a classic." — Benjamin Kunkel
"Edwardian catastrophe novel in the mode of H.G. Wells, with ironic description of a devastated world through a lower middle class London family. Good realistic detail."— E.F. Bleiler, Science Fiction, the Early Years
"A fantastic commentary upon life." — W.L. George, The Bookman (1914)
"Mr. Beresford possesses the rare gift of divination... The picture of that bevy of English Bacchantes — graceless civilized savages — dragging along a butcher in a triumphal car, cannot be forgotten — it is a piece of the most vivid imaginative realism, as well as a challenge to our vaunted civilization." — The Living Age (1916)

(1941), A Common Enemy (1942), and The Riddle of the Tower (1944, with Esme Wynne-Tyson), about a dystopian, hive-like society. Beresford was persecuted for his pacifism during WWI. His daughter Elisabeth was author of a series of children's books about The Wombles. Astra Taylor is a Canadian-American documentary filmmaker and writer, best known for her 2005 film, Zizek!, about the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, and for her 2008 film, Examined Life.
