"The Shadow of Great Britain" is a fantasy novel set in 19th-century Britain, a world seemingly devoid of magic. The story centers on Sir Arthur Hastings, a figure of immense renown and accomplishment. He is introduced with a long list of prestigious accolades, including the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, and the Victoria Cross. Hastings is celebrated as a leader of the anti-colonial movement, a key player in the East India Company, and a hero of the Crimean War. His intellectual standing is further cemented by his fellowship in the Royal Society and his close friendships with literary giants like Dickens and Dumas, as well as his support for scientific luminaries such as Faraday and Darwin. His career in government has been extensive, serving as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in both the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He is also recognized as the inaugural Cabinet Secretary, head of the civil service, and the most distinguished alumnus of a prominent school. The narrative opens with Sir Arthur Hastings preparing to deliver a speech at the fiftieth anniversary of the University of London. As he surveys the young faces in the audience, he confides in a spectral entity named Agares, a "Red Devil's wraith" that hovers behind him. This devil, described as having "saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth," suggests that Hastings should tell the "ignorant souls" what they want to hear, playing into their worship of him as a hero. Following this dark suggestion, Hastings takes a deep breath and then, to the audience's thunderous applause, roars, "Oxford is a bunch of whores’ bastards!" He then immediately adds, "Cambridge is the same!" which elicits an even more fervent response from the crowd. This scene reveals a core element of the protagonist: Sir Arthur Hastings is possessed by a devil, and this supernatural influence guides his actions and pronouncements in a world without overt magic.
