Rerouting Wartime Paranoia in Agatha Christie's N or M?
As alarms about \"internal treachery\" and a possible Fifth Column were raised in Britain near the beginning of World War II, fear of refugees and migrants became nearly ubiquitous. N or M? (1940), Agatha Christie's most accomplished spy novel, reroutes the rising paranoia and fear of foreign spies to channel it against the xenophobic and misogynist tendencies of wartime. In so doing, Christie turns derisive paranoid attention away from some of those groups who were most vulnerable to it in the nerve-wracking spring of 1940: refugees, Irish migrants, and women.

Two Types of Secret Agency: Conrad, Causation, and Popular Spy Fiction
From the point of view of Mach's easygoing monism, matter itself \"must be regarded merely as a highly natural, unconsciously constructed mental symbol for a relatively stable complex of sensational elements,\" while \"the artificial hypothetical atoms and molecules of physics and chemistry\" are nothing more than \"eco- nomical ways of symbolizing experience\" (Analysis of Sensations 311).6 Karl Pearson's popular \"neo-Machian\" text The Grammar of Science was first published in 1892, and revised editions were issued in 1900 and 1911 (Porter 143).
