  • IN Ronald J. Ambrosetti a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School
    A STUDY OP THE SPY GENRE IN RECENT POPULAR LITERATURE Ronald J. Ambrosetti A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OP PHILOSOPHY August 1973 11 ABSTRACT The literature of espionage has roots which can be traced as far back as tales in the Old Test­ ament. However, the secret agent and the spy genre remained waiting in the wings of the popular stage until well into the twentieth century before finally attracting a wide audience. This dissertation analyzed the spy genre as it reflected the era of the Cold War. The Damoclean Sword of the mid-twentieth century was truly the bleak vision of a world devastated by nuclear pro­ liferation. Both Western and Communist "blocs" strove lustily in the pursuit of the ultimate push-button weapons. What passed as a balance of power, which allegedly forged a détente in the hostilities, was in effect a reign of a balance of terror. For every technological advance on one side, the other side countered. And into this complex arena of transis­ tors and rocket fuels strode the secret agent. Just as the detective was able to calculate the design of a clock-work universe, the spy, armed with the modern gadgetry of espionage and clothed in the accoutrements of the organization man as hero, challenged a world of conflicting organizations, ideologies and technologies. On a microcosmic scale of literary criticism, this study traced the spy genre’s accurate reflection of the macrocosmic pattern of Northrop Frye’s continuum of fictional modes: the initial force of verisimili­ tude was generated by Eric Ambler’s early realism; the movement toward myth in the technological romance of Ian Fleming; the tragic high-mimesis of John Le Carre' and the subsequent devolution to low-mimesis in the spoof; and the final return to myth in religious affir­ mation and symbolism.

The book reveals, for the first time, the secret technical methods and sources of the Stasi (East German Ministry for State Security) as it stole secrets from abroad and developed gadgets at home, employing universal, highly guarded techniques often used by other spy and security agencies. Seduced by Secrets draws on secret files from the Stasi archives, includ- ing CIA-acquired material, interviews and friendships, court documents, and unusual visits to spy sites, including “breaking into” a prison, to demonstrate that the Stasi overestimated the power of secrets to solve problems and cre- ated an insular spy culture more intent on securing its power than protecting national security. It re-creates the Stasi’s secret world of technology through biographies of agents, defectors, and officers and by visualizing James Bond– like techniques and gadgets. In this highly original book, Kristie Macrakis adds a new dimension to our understanding of the East German Ministry for State Security by bringing the topic into the realm of espionage history and exiting politically charged commentary. Kristie Macrakis is a professor of the history of science at Michigan State University. She received her Ph.D. in the history of science from Harvard University in 1989 and then spent a postdoctoral year in Berlin, Germany.

  • John Le Carré, Best-Selling Author of Cold War Thrillers, Dies at 89 - the New York Times
    12/14/2020 John le Carré, Best-Selling Author of Cold War Thrillers, Dies at 89 - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2WaTI43 John le Carré, Best-Selling Author of Cold War Thrillers, Dies at 89 Graham Greene called “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” which featured the plump, poorly dressed George Smiley, the best spy story he had ever read. By Sarah Lyall Published Dec. 13, 2020 Updated Dec. 14, 2020, 3:54 a.m. ET LONDON — John le Carré, whose exquisitely nuanced, intricately plotted Cold War thrillers elevated the spy novel to high art by presenting both Western and Soviet spies as morally compromised cogs in a rotten system full of treachery, betrayal and personal tragedy, died on Saturday in Cornwall, England. He was 89. The cause was pneumonia, his publisher, Penguin Random House, said on Sunday. Before Mr. le Carré published his best-selling 1963 novel “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” which Graham Greene called “the best spy story I have ever read,” the fictional model for the modern British spy was Ian Fleming’s James Bond — suave, urbane, devoted to queen and country. With his impeccable talent for getting out of trouble while getting women into bed, Bond fed the myth of spying as a glamorous, exciting romp. Mr. Le Carré upended that notion with books that portrayed British intelligence operations as cesspools of ambiguity in which right and wrong are too close to call and in which it is rarely obvious whether the ends, even if the ends are clear, justify the means.

  • Mapping New Jerusalem: Space, National Identity and Power in British Espionage Fiction 1945-79
    Mapping New Jerusalem: Space, National Identity and Power in British Espionage Fiction 1945-79. Submitted by Samuel Geoffrey Goodman to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, March 2012. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature……………… ………………… .... 1 Abstract This thesis argues that the espionage fiction of Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John le Carré published between 1945 and 1979 illustrates a number of discontinuities, disjunctions and paradoxes related to space, sovereignty and national identity in post- war Britain. To this effect, the thesis has three broad aims. Firstly, to approach the representations of space and sovereign power in the work of these authors published during the period 1945-1979, examining the way in which sovereign power produces space, and then how that power is distributed and maintained. Secondly, to analyse the effect that sovereign power has on a variety of social and cultural environments represented within spy fiction and how the exercise of power affects the response of individuals within them. Thirdly, to establish how the intervention of sovereign power within environments relates to the creation, propagation and exclusion of national identities within each author’s work. By mapping the application of sovereign power throughout various environments, the thesis demonstrates that the control of environment is inextricably linked to the sovereign control of British subjects in espionage fiction.

ÖZFIRAT 2501080878 TEZ DANIŞMANI DR. ÖĞRETİM ÜYESİ FERAH İNCESU İSTANBUL – 2019 TEZ ONAY SAYFASI ABSTRACT BETRAYAL AND PARANOIA IN JOHN LE CARRÉ’S ESPIONAGE FICTION: TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, OUR GAME AND THE CONSTANT GARDENER GAMZE G. ÖZFIRAT The spy novels of John le Carré mostly revolve around the concepts of loyalty and betrayal and are imbibed with a sense of paranoia against the evil figure. In Le Carré’s fiction, political betrayal usually goes parallel with personal betrayal and the clash of duty with individual conscience is a common theme. John le Carré is the author persona created by David Cornwell, a former officer of the British Secret Service who also served as an intelligence agent during the Cold War era. Although it is not a must to go back to the author’s life in literary criticism, in Le Carré’s case, it is his insider experience about the clandestine world that distinguishes him as a realistic author and gives his critically acclaimed novels their merit. The aim of this study is to do a close reading of three novels by John le Carré, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974), Our Game (1995) and The Constant Gardener (2001), in order to examine the elements of paranoia and betrayal in the light of the historical and political atmosphere of their respective era.

As observers of (and participants in) the danse macabre of German cold war politics, Ulrike Meinhof and John le Carré could hardly have been more different.

Cold War heroes, they countered the Red menace in Greece, Berlin, Guatemala, and elsewhere. That espionage could be a dubious, often amoral game seldom occurred to the readers of Ian Fleming's James Bond stories. But in 1964, well before accounts of treason and double agents became common media fare, John le Carre's chilling Spy Who Came in from the Cold suddenly shattered many illusions.
