This book's aim has been to relate part of one eventful segment of the longer history of U.S. language politics: the years between 1898 and 1945. The study has been predominantly concerned with literature—specifically narrative experiments with hybrid genres and idioms—but it also has shed light on how U.S. Americans viewed English and other U.S. languages in politics, academic study, and journalism.Less

This chapter studies Margery Allingham and Helen MacInnes. The discussion approaches these two writers as intermodernists, and determines that their fictions are a complicated linking of cultural and political concerns with narrative experiment. It also studies the various paths that supported MacInnes and Allingham to send their imagined spies into enemy territory. Finally, the chapter looks at the implications of their decision to bring their spies back to Britain after the war.Less
