Cloak and Dagger Fiction : An Annotated Guide to Spy Thrillers, 3rd Edition Hardback
by Myron J., Jr. Smith, Terry White
Part of the Bibliographies and Indexes in World Literature series
Hardback
Description
A new edition of the definitive bibliography of the modern spy-adventure-intrigue novel.
First published in 1976, this edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.
After a discussion of early spy fiction, Smith and White provide a detailed listing of novels from 1940 onward.
The bibliography is organized alphabetically, with entries providing brief content annotations.
Access is enhanced by cross references as well as appendixes and author and title indexes. Among the new features provided with this edition are a bibliography of articles and books which reflect recent popular scholarship; an appendix, Craft Notes, in which writers themselves speak to concerns of their own choosing; and a glossary of terms on the fascinating and sometimes semantically bizarre language of espionage and spies.
As Julian Rathbone writes in his foreword, "I am delighted that the Editors have given me this opportunity to recommend this new edition of Cloak and Dagger to all aficionados of that branch of fiction which has more to say about the way we live now than any other." An important reference tool for public and research libraries and their patrons interested in modern fiction and the spy novel.
