British Invasion and Spy Literature, 1871–1918
Author: Danny Laurie-Fletcher
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030038521
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
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.

Author: Ethel May Dell
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com

Category : Melodramatic fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 606
Book Description
This romance novel begins with a bar room brawl in Australia between two men: one is the English aristocrat Piers Evesham, aged only 19, the other is an unknown. Piers kills the unknown man, and this event haunts the rest of the novel. Piers, the hero, lives with his grandfather Sir Beverley Evesham, who is a broken, bitter man whose only affection is for his grandson. Sir Beverley had a short, unhappy marriage to an Italian woman: this Italian blood makes Piers passionate, patrician, hot-tempered and violent. Piers falls in love with a woman called Avery Denys, who is the mother's help at the Vicarage. She is unsuitable for Piers because of her class, age, social position and because she was married before. However, she is a strong heroine: capable, experienced, loving and mature. The novel contains many scenes of violence, including sexual violence, children being whipped, and a battle in World War One.
