James, Rowland
Entry updated 16 December 2024. Tagged: Author.
(1885-? ) UK author of a Future War novel, While England Slept (1932), featuring the relatively benign Invasion of the UK with the aid of a rejuvenating gas which causes Amnesia but does not kill; as they cannot remember how Machines work, the population vacates Cities and settles in Pastoral enclaves. A new Religion may benignly bring about a Utopian re-industrialization.
The titling of Winston S Churchill's While England Slept (coll 1938) seems coincidental. [JC]
