These novels map the evolution of a relatively new literary genre:
the British speculative future war novel. They forecast invasions
from the land, sea, air, and ultimately, outer space. They can be
interpreted in many ways: as fin-de-siecle paranoia, as critiques
of British imperialism, as xenophobic tirades, or as fear of the
advances of technology. Taken together they illustrate the
development of the genre that cultimated in The War of the Worlds
and which afterwards overshadowed the whole of the twentieth
century.
