David Cannadine, “James Bond and the Decline of England,” Encounter 53, no. 3 (September [November?] 1979), pp. 46–55. “David Cannadine has observed that when Casino Royale was first published in 1953, the coronation celebrations provided a ‘retrospectively unconvincing reaffirmation of Britain's continued world power status’. He went on to remark that the last of Fleming's novels, The Man with the Golden Gun, appeared in 1965, the year of Churchill's funeral, ‘self-consciously recognized as the requiem for Britain as a great power’.” (Bennett and Woollacott 1987, 20)
