4 unusual facts about The Great War in England in 1897


The Great War in England in 1897

The Great War in England in 1897 was written by William Le Queux and published in 1894.

The author of the "Pigott forgeries" had in 1889 tried to defame Parnell, and after his plot was discovered fled to Madrid and there killed himself.

As evidenced by the book's great popularity, the scenario of such an alliance seemed plausible to the British public in 1894; only four years later, Britain and France were indeed on the verge of war during the Fashoda Incident.

William Le Queux

His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which was a phenomenal bestseller.
