My 1995 Oxford paperback edition has a different intro I think, by one David Trotter. It is mainly concerned with placing the novel in Edwardian emergent spy fiction. But I see what you're getting at! After all, they're both Arthurs, and Davies share a lot of AR's characteristics. Surely there's a thesis there for someone. I wonder what London club Childers belonged to? Or were radical Irishmen not welcome in London clubs? I'm conjecturing wildly, but it's a very exciting idea.
