This book examines British invasion and spy literature and the
political, social, and cultural attitudes that it expresses. This
form of literature began to appear towards the end of the
nineteenth century and developed into a clearly recognised form
during the Edwardian period (1901-1914). By looking at the origins
and evolution of invasion literature, and to a lesser extent
detective literature, up to the end of World War I, Danny
Laurie-Fletcher utilises fiction as a window into the mind-set of
British society. There is a focus on the political arguments
embedded within the texts, which mirrored debates in wider British
society that took place before and during World War I - debates
about military conscription, immigration, spy scares, the fear of
British imperial decline, and the rise of Germany. These debates
and topics are examined to show what influence they had on the
creation of the intelligence services, MI5 and MI6, and how
foreigners were perceived in society.
