Britain's domestic intelligence agencies maintained secret records
on many left-wing writers after the First World War. Drawing on
recently declassified material from 1930 to 1960, this revealing
study examines how leading figures in Britain's literary scene fell
under MI5 and Special Branch surveillance, and the surprising
extent to which writers became willing participants in the world of
covert intelligence and propaganda. Chapters devoted to W. H. Auden
and his associates, theatre pioneers Ewan MacColl and Joan
Littlewood, George Orwell and others describe methods used by MI5
to gather information through and about the cultural world. The
book also investigates how these covert agencies assessed the
political influence of such writers, providing scholars and
students of twentieth-century British literature with an
unprecedented account of clandestine operations in popular culture.
