A study that traces the way representations of 'Germanness' in modernist British literature from 1890 to 1950 contributed to the development of English identity. It examines the shift in attitudes towards Germany and Germans, from suspicious competitiveness in the late Victorian period to the aggressive hostility of the First World War.
