The first edition of Ernest Bramah’s What Might Have Been to be published at its original length since its first appearance in 1907. It’s a political thriller, with a nail-biting Buchanesque car chase, a sea battle that C S Forester could have written, and dramatic rescue missions in the air. The flying machines are both delightful and dramatic.
The critical introduction by Jeremy Hawthorn (see his most recent books here and here) sets out the novel’s history, and its connections with Bramah’s more famous literary characters, the Chinese sage Kai Lung and Max Carrados the blind detective.
