Description

This Routledge Studies volume challenges conventional assumptions about spy fiction and its relationship to British imperial power. Rather than portraying the British spy as a steadfast defender of Empire, the book reveals how spy fiction actually contains internal contradictions and disjunctions in its representation of space and power. The author argues that whilst spy fiction is popularly associated with patriotism and national security, the genre's literary treatment of these themes is far more nuanced and complex than typically assumed. Through careful analysis, the volume demonstrates how spy fiction reflects ambivalence towards British interests and global power preservation, offering readers a sophisticated critique of both the genre itself and the historical moment of imperial decline it chronicles.

Key Features

Examines spy fiction's complicated relationship with British patriotism and imperial ideology in twentieth-century literature.

Analyses how representations of space and power within spy fiction reveal internal tensions and contradictions in narratives of Empire.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature series, providing academic scholarly perspective on genre conventions.

Argues against simplistic readings of the spy as defender of British interests, offering deeper literary and historical interpretation.
