Abstract

The British wrote and read a large quantity of fictional depictions of future wars and invasions in the period between 1871 and 1914, imagining the various ways in which a great war might look before the real conflict broke out. This article outlines the ways in which this form of literature described a British world united across time and space. The stories have traditionally been read as indicative of a societal fear of invasion, of imperial decline, or of the dangers of revolutionary upheaval. The article argues that the stories’ popularity can instead be traced to the way they included their readers in the experience of invasion and conflict, and how they were well suited to the era of modern mass newspapers. The article therefore concludes that earlier interpretations of how readers engaged with such fiction has underestimated how a varied readership could view the stories as entertaining spectacles where they were invited to participate. As such, the article offers a new interpretation of an important literary genre as well as of British pre-war political culture.

16 Before the rise of Germany as primus inter pares among Britain's enemies in the Edwardian period, authors of invasion-scare texts could be quite flexible in their choice of antagonists. In 1896 alone, to take one particularly busy year, Britain battled the United States in one story (Captain Anson, , The great Anglo-American war of 1900 (London, 1896))Google Scholar; the US and France in another (Burton, Francis G., The naval engineer and the command of the sea (Manchester, 1896)Google Scholar); allied itself with Austria against Russia and Turkey in a third (Cromie, Robert, The next crusade (London 1896)Google Scholar); and joined forces with the US against France and Germany in a fourth (Tracy, Louis, The final war: a story of the great betrayal (London, 1896)Google Scholar). Great-power politics certainly informed and inspired numerous stories, but writers often showed a marked interest in dreaming up ever new exotic alliances and battle lines.

Wells's outline of how the future should be studied was presented in Wells, The discovery of the future: a discourse delivered to the Royal Institution on January 24, 1902 (London, 1902). Wells was of course not completely opposed to literary investigations of future events, and authored two of the most influential and widely read future-war stories of the pre-war era: The war in the air (first published in 1908) and, albeit with an extra-terrestrial twist, The war of the worlds (first serialized in 1897).

111 Le Queux described war as ‘a great leveller’ in The invasion of 1910; ‘The wealthy classes were, in proportion, losing as much as the workers’, with riots being blamed on foreign ‘riff-raff’ (pp. 280–3).

112 This according to Falk, Bernard, Bouquets for Fleet Street: memories and musings over fifty years (London, 1951), p. 65Google Scholar. However, Falk does not specify how he came to hear about it. Unsurprisingly, Le Queux does not refer to any such consideration in his autobiography (Things I know); nor is there any mention of it in the book edition of The invasion, where Le Queux wrote that ‘the “general idea” of the scheme is in accordance with the expressed and published opinions of the first strategists of to-day’ (p. viii).
