Jonathan Elmer points out that "Poe's connection with juvenile tastes, and hence with a time when reading and acquiring 'culture' were actually enjoyable has been insistently and disapprovingly stressed by the Anglo-American literary-historical tradition" (3).

You'd think that a book that chronicled the activities of a British spy ring in WWII Washington would involve exciting tales of clandestine missions and other cloak and dagger activities. It is an extraordinary tale of deceit, double-dealing, and moral ambiguity - all in the name of victory. Jennet Conant's book The Irregulars promises much but delivers little.
