This text presents a fictional representation of political power in the first half of the 20th century. Amongst the main themes explored are the lure of political romanticism and the construction of the distinctly "British" political identity.
As a result of its imperial role, Britain was closely involved with such romantic and disruptive myths of power such as the imperial adventure hero and the self-deified charismatic leader. Lee Horsley explores fictional representations of political power during this period, surveying a wide range of texts from the adventure story, romance, thriller and science fiction to the novels of Conrad, Huxley, Orwell and Greene.
