Summary "The Great War in England in 1897" by William Le Queux is a fictional narrative penned during the late 19th century. The story explores the harrowing prospect of an invasion of Britain by foreign powers, particularly focusing on the fears surrounding military inadequacies and the rising threat posed by a combined French and Russian offensive. With the unfolding chapters, readers can expect to dive into a tale of national crisis, as the British public grapples with the sudden declaration of war and the chaos that ensues. The opening of the narrative sets a dramatic tone as it captures the shock of the British public at the announcement of war during a theater performance. The news spreads rapidly, plunging the once-comfortable citizens into panic and disbelief at the thought of invasion—something they previously deemed preposterous. Alongside the societal turmoil, we are introduced to Geoffrey Engleheart, a young man caught in the whirlwind of impending conflict, who rushes to inform his fiancée of the danger. As the story progresses, various themes of patriotism, cowardice, and social unrest start to emerge, illustrating how quickly confidence can falter in the face of looming threats.
