This volume presents thirteen essays on the spy thriller in the
twentieth century and includes a critical introduction to the
subject. Each essay combines in a clear and understandable way,
formal, historical, and aesthetic theory with sound practical
criticism. Authors covered range from past masters such as Joseph
Conrad and John Buchan to present masters such as Ian Fleming, Len
Deighton and John le Carr, whilst subjects range widely from
discussion of the formal characteristics of the genre to the
conditions governing modern state surveillance and control, of
which the spy novel is not only a symptom but also a warning. The
book, which combines a comprehensive range of literary approaches,
is the companion volume to Nineteenth-Century Suspense: From Poe to
Conan Doyle, Twentieth Century Suspense: The Genre Comes of Age,
Literature and Imperialism and American Crime Fiction, all
available in the Insights Series.
